WHS and Hamachi

    So, I was sitting in my office/workshop/man cave getting ready to watch "The Battle of Ohio" when I decided to test the ability of WHS to back up a remote workstation or server. I had seen many different posts on various ways to accomplish this. I chose to try Hamachi VPN now owned by LogMeIn. I then needed to figure out what remote machine I could test this with. I chose my test server in the Dublin office about 40 some miles away from my location.
    I created an account with LogMeIn Hamachi and downloaded the VPN software on to both servers.
I configured the type of network as hub and spoke, with the home server being the hub. Once connected with the VPN I tried to RDP into the test server from the home server no luck. So to save time I disabled the firewall on the virtual adapter created by Hamachi on both machines. I now had complete 2 way communication going between the servers. I then downloaded the connector software from the home server to the test server and installed it.
   After installing the connector software I configured the backup. I thought this will be interesting, how long will it take to backup over 20 gigs of Data over the Internet, will it actually work or will it time out or just fail outright. Well I got my answer 21 hrs later with a successful completion of the backup. It has been backing up now for over a week successfully, with the ongoing backups taking less that 2 hrs. Pretty cool stuff, Bare Metal Restore would not be feasible over the remote connection but random file restores would be just fine.
   The big question would be is it actually a violation of the EULA to use WHS in this manner and how are Vail and Aurora going to compare functionality wise.
