Backing up remote server 4mb/min max... Backukp Exec 10.1d

I have a remote location connected via a 4mb/min connection and need a backup solution.  I currently use backup exec 10.1d and run backups once a week.  They typically take about 4 - 5 days to complete - as I am backup up about 23 gb.

This is a Dell 2850 w/ a raid 0/5 setup and has plenty of disc space for local backups.  The backup exec client is installed on the remote server.  I created backup to disc folders locally and submitted the jobs, but it seems to be transmitting the data to and from now, cutting my througput down to 2mb/min.  Any suggestions to make this work?

Another idea I had was to setup the remote server as a secondary backup exec server.  I could then backup locally (at full speed) and then transfer to tape once a month or so.

Lastly, we did purchase a replication manager add-on.  The intent was to replicate the data across the WAN and then backup from the replicated server.  Has anyone tried this approach?

Thanks in advance...
