Yep, and I must suppose that the location is well on the other side of the
world (otherwise it could make no sense to remotely backup all that
information).... because a 20GB backup could take something around 4 days,
and I bet it is faster to send the backup via "snail mail" (ie, postal). Or
even better: have a local storage daemon to do the backup, it would take
around 1 hour to run the backup, so you could even do it twice, and take one
of the copies off-site.
