There is no build in support for this yet. There was a request for this in bug #504480 but nothing done till now and no plans neither.

You can mount remote server with sshfs and backup from that mountpoint. Next major release 1.1 will support more user-callback events to do mount and unmount before and after starting GUI or snapshot.

Now i see good program potential for newbye linux users and admins. If tihs software can manage backup MySQL databasses from/to remoted servers (example using mysqldump or onother methods for backub DB) - itts be a new pof level backup software.

good job. good luck for developers ;)

For backing up databases you can also use user-callback.
Take a look at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bit-team/backintime/user-callback/files for examples.
