Oh that backs up to a remote machine? I thought he just meant local.
In that case with LRP you must go through the monotonous, high strength
encypted, cronable task of:
mount /dev/boot /mnt

umount /dev/boot
After backing up the packages locally.
(The /dev/boot link is created at boot time in LRP, that is a working
example)
