I don't understand what a 'remote backup server platform' is if it
doesn't involve backup software. If you just want to present a file or
device interface you can do that over a WAN with ordinary protocols but
you won't like it. You could split the difference with a local (to the
targets) file share where the native backups dump a copy, followed by
remote rsync'ing of that copy to a central server where a longer history
might be managed (or letting backuppc do that part for you).
