If the VPN is configured as point-to-point with the other end on the
backuppc server, routing would take care of itself via the subnet
masks. The backuppc server could always use the tunnel address with
just a little bit of extra overhead when the laptop is on the LAN.
The routing is only complicated if the endpoint is on a router or some
other device.
