In such cases I found it best to just take the backup server to the target
server's location, sync the data, and take the backup server back to its normal
location.

failing that; I think others have suggested copying the data to a portable
drive, taking it to where the backup server is, plugging it into a computer
there, pointing the backup profile of your target server temporarily to
where the portable disk is plugged in, and then getting the data into the
pool that way. (make sure you set the paths up exactly the same tho;
otherwise you'll re-transfer the files).
