What matters more is how many links you have to these files in the pc 
tree.  Rsync may work for you if you have plenty of ram and use the 
latest version.  If it doesn't, I'm not sure if there are any 
alternatives that will work over the internet.  There are several 
approaches to making a local image copy of the partition, but even those 
don't scale well to archives that won't fit on an external drive.

In some cases you can just let an independent offsite copy of backuppc 
run through a vpn.
