What do you mean by a paththro?  If the Linux box is on a NAT subnet 
instead of having a reachable public address, you either need a VPN that 
you can use to tunnel to the non-routable network or something to 
port-forward to the otherwise unreachable host.   If you don't want a 
full VPN with something like an openvpn tunnel from the backuppc server 
to the firewall box, you can probably do port forwarding over an ssh 
connection and use a client alias to direct the connection to localhost 
on the server.
