 Either run a second BPC instance over the WAN directly to the target
 hosts, or send compressed tar snapshots, whichever is more appropriate
 for your combination of bandwidth, volume of data, backup time window,
 number of target hosts, degree of duplicated data etc 

Or option 3 which is to produce local snapshots of the backups and then
sync them over the network to have local backup and archive and offsite
backup.

 If I were doing it, I'd look at backuppc as the local backup copy and
 tarsnap or other remote system as the disaster recovery backup that you
 would only use if the primary system is gone.  Making one depend on the
 other gives you a single point of failure for both.



That is what I'm doing. Restoring from Tarsnap doesn't require the BackupPC
server to be intact so there's no single point of failure.

In any event, I got it working. It turns out Tarsnap can consume tarballs
directly. No need to point it to a filesystem.
