Hello,

No actually I was trying to backup localy a remote destination. Okay,  
since that is a macosx machine and has duplicity on it, it's not a  
problem to use it otherwise.

Now the problem is with the Windows machine. I can connect to it via  
FTP (MeteoFTP) and Samba (windows shares). Is there any way to get  
that machine's backup?

regards!
