I would use rsync to do the offsite transfer. rsync will determine
which files or which parts of files to syncronize, so you wouldn't
have to worry about file size and which jobs the volumes contain. If
you trigger the rsync after all the jobs have run (admin job or run
after job command for the catalog backup, for example), and the rsync
is done by the time the next jobs start, you'd always have a
consistent and exact copy of all your local volumes offsite.
Also, rsync can use ssh to transfer data, so you wouldn't expose any
information. And it only transfers what really has changed, so you
would save time and traffic, too.
All in all, I'd say rsync is a great tool for this sort of tasks.
