Can you park another drive nearby - preferably on a different machine
but not absolutely necessary? Then script a local copy during your
backup window and dribble the offsite copy out after it completes.
That gives you a much faster restore option unless you have a site
disaster or it failed mid-backup, and the backuppc history will cover
those risks.
