I don't see where doing the backup directly to another computer increases your safety margin, it may even lower it due to the increased potential for network issues messing up the backup cycle.  Do it locally then SCP the completed (and compressed) file to another computer, which is what I do.  (In fact I send it to THREE different computers in two physical locations, including one 900 miles away.)
