What I would do is this:

Setup backuppc for company A at the company B location
Setup backuppc for company B at the company A location

That way you will have total failover redundancy with no "lost weeks". So if
say Company A "burns" or is robbed, etc you have the backup of the servers
at company B location and vise versa. This way you are maximizing your
protection. And you don't have to rely on "sneakernet" to transfer the
drives. Everything is automagic. This nearly eliminates human interference.
With this setup I would stagger the full backups to different days though.
