I like the idea of copy job the best.

Take your full backup and copy it to a special pool, one which is always 
destined for off site transport.

Your original backup remains on site.  No chance of a mix up.

If you want to try that, I've written stuff about copy jobs:

Read them both, all the way through, before trying anything.  :)
