As Dwight mentioned, the problem isn't backup it's restore.  As long as you
have some plan in place for the big restore you should be OK.  Onesy twosy
file restores will be fine, but what happens if you lose the entire disk?

The best plan for that is to rebuild the disk at the central site and
overnight it to the remote site.  Downtime is at worst case 36 hours or so.
Can you live with that?  Remember, this is worst case: drive failure or
massive corruption.  Minimize the chances by using RAID at the remote site
and have a plan for when it does happen.
