Strategies for creating an off-site backup

Hi!

Feel free to shoot this down in case there are better ways.

We are currently backing up important data to USB media. The amount is small, less than 4Gb and the storage
is in another part of the building which should provide at least some protection. It would be desireable to
replicate the backup data to another site though. We run a standard full/diff/inc rotation

I have been testing syncing, one way with RSync so that the backup files are replicated to a storage in
another part of the city. For that purpose, I created a separate pool for the catalogue so that the media in
the full pool would not be touched every night and proceeding from there. RSync is a bit on the slow side
though, even on fiber. I have tested restoring individual files from the replicated data, using bextract, but
the general idea is ti have bacula running (or startable) on the replicated server for easy restores.

Any comments, hints, tricks?
