We do this in a somewhat manual way. The client computer has a bconsole configured. When the laptop owner wants a backup, they start bconsole, then type "run<ret>", "yes<ret>", "quit<yes">. They then get a confirmation email when the backup completes.

It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
