Not sure if it was NetApp that made the suggestion, but
it wouldn't surprise me if it it was since we are seeing
this issue raised by other companies. To that end we
have a paper on some of the solutions that NetApp has
applied to the problem at:
http://www.netapp.com/solutions/data_protection_wp.html
With the release (on Friday) of Data ONTAP 6.2 you can use
a NearStore R100 instead of a filer at the center and use
SnapVault software to perform the remote (disk 2 disk)
backups and then centrally protect to tape via NDMP. Similar
to rsync we only send over changed blocks on incrementals.
For more information on SnapVault check out:

Cheers,
Grant
