There is 1 more way besides Mike's suggestion. If you do a normal
ssh into your other box, you can also do a screen to create a virtual
screen and run the process then do a ctrl-a-d to detatch the screen
which will leave the process running, then just log out, and you can
then reconnect to the machine and do a screen -r to resume it whenever
you want.
