It's something like that indeed. My backup server is in a subnet and 
hence not directly accessible from the outside. The backup client has a 
static address, so when the server powers up it 'ssh -R's to the client 
machine, making it possible for the client to reach the server's 
boxbackup port.

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll look into the issue a bit further in 
the following days.
