I'd a similar schema with two clients: This was I do:
Rsync data between client <-> office each day to a temporal linux machine at office (through vpn) then backup this machine with bacula-fd client on it in the Schedule required. The first big full backup (70Gb) was easy doing a dump to a usb drive and then rsync the two machines, next incremental or full were so easy at ethernet speed.
