The long discussions in the list from a couple years ago were far too 
detailed (and good) to repeat from memory.

FWIW, I've been doing the same thing for many many years.  My repo is at 
https://github.com/vinceskahan/vds-weewx-backup-data if you want to see my 
script.

In short my process is:

   - copy weewx.sdb to a scratch directory, then gzip the 'copy'.
   - scp the file weekly (manually) to my Macbook, which syncs to the cloud 
   into Dropbox
   - I 'have' verified hundreds of daily stashed backups and they're all 
   good, for my case (spinning disk, not a pi with SD card)

The sqlite3 incantation to check your backup is ok is at
