I believe that is correct, but someone else on the list should verify. 
It is the contents of the digital keys that need to connect.

You'd of course have to install the matching version of bbstored on the
other machine, including what'll probably be essentially a completely
new /etc/box/bbstored.conf.  You'd also of course have to modify the
client /etc/box/bbackud.conf to point to the other machine by the
correct name.  And your dns, routing (including port forwarding), and
firewalls would all have to be configured correctly.  And probably
other things that I'm forgetting at the moment.
