in that "at home" case, maybe ds-backup-client (+ patches) isn't installed.

I see you installed ds-backup-client at GPA -- probably the problem is
that you didn't register. The server won't let you backup until you
register.

Ok - sorry, i thought it had been disabled in recent Sugars.

If you do hit Register, then manual configuration of the jabber server
should not be needed. If you do set the jabber server manually, it is
important that you do give it the "right name".

That's a hint of trouble. Strong recommendation: Either use the DNS
and DHCP server that the XS provides, or look at all the DNS names you
have to provide (that Sugar expects) and get them set in the
'canonical' DNS server of the network.

(I've posted it a few times in the past here, it can also be found
looking at the named config files that are part of xs-config.)
