That is not large! :-)

I would go for some near line storage and then USB for offsite.
This give the best of both worlds, instant backup when on site and the  
safety of data stored offsite as well.

You can take the off site backup from the nearline storage, saving the  
impact on the disks during the day.

Mind you 100-200g is not going to take long, it takes us a weekend to  
spool 7.7T to 5 LTO3's.
