Have you considered saving the DB backup to a local file device class, then
later simply copy the DB backup file to Oz?

You could also compress the DB backup file before sending it around the world.

If you're feeling brave, you might also consider using "rsync" to send only
the binary differential compared to yesterday's DB backup.

Also, Full (weekly) + Incremental (daily) DB backups may be a good idea due to
your bandwidth constraints.
