Right, that project is neither finished, nor even started :-)

No, that's not possible. Unfortunately.

One of the options discussed regarding your problem is to use rsync to 
syncronize your remote system to a local one, and do your backups from 
there.

That could be a waste of disk space, but it is easier for handling 
low-bandwidth WAN transfers.
