Yes that is what I am talking about.  Last I checked the options it
certainly didn't look like ti would work well with a remote target.
Maybe they have changed that.  I suppose if you do a pull from the target
to backup, to the backup server, then that would solve that problem, but
then you have to find a backup service that runs rsnapshot on the server.

I wouldn't run NFS over the internet.  It would be crazy.
