You could use a pseudo static host with services like dyndns.org.

you could run Backup_dump via ssh, when your host boots up.

Make sure that you do not run any p2p services when you do the backup, 
or it will take 10times longer than without.
I run a pre script that blocks via iptables and remove them after the 
backup.
