For end user computers like laptop have the server start the backup is
wrong. The problem with that example you gave with openvpn and ssh will not
work because then the user would have to launch the VPN. Also the server
does not know when the client is online. The way to back is laptop is a
client on windows would start on boot. Then every one hour or whatever the
client would connect to the server over something like SSL to run the
backup.
