In some situations you can set up VPN access if it doesn't already exist
and just let a remote instance of backuppc run independently using rsync
as the protocol, hitting all the same targets. You might need to make
the initial backup run on the LAN, then move the server offsite, or add
one machine at a time over weekends to get the initial copies, but if
you can keep up afterwards it eliminates any single point of failure
like you would have copying your on-site archive.
