Why not look at thin client and consolidating your datacenter. That way you can be responsible for the data and leave the branch offices with just desktop machines/terminals.

We currently have a zip script that takes the data and ftps it to our main office everynight. The data is exceeding 500MB zipped and on occasion is experiencing a timeout during the ftp. Does anybody have any better recommendations for remote backups with large amounts of data and a non-secure internet connection - local tape backup is not an option at this point due to unreliable employees taking the responsibility.
