XSI Backup to Ubuntu Server

Hello,
Ran across your app and it's LOOKS GREAT!!!!! However, not sure if it will work for what I want.

I wanted to backup my VM's to another computer which is running Ubuntu. It's not another ESXi host.
Can XSIBackup do that?
IE: Can I change the --backup-point to be my Ubuntu box and not an ESXi host?

By now XSITools works only to local storage, but you can just attach your Ubuntu box as an NFS datastore, it's very easy. You can just follow this guide: https://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/ar01s03.html
