You can do that with no changes to backuppc itself. You can use the
web interface to start a backup on demand. The catch is that 'remote'
in this context is likely to mean behind a NAT or roaming. In that
you can set up a VPN that has a known IP for the end point, or an ssh
tunnel with pre-arranged port forwarding for backuppc to use.
