Nice to see someone else from the area...
There are a couple of ways you could do this. Is it a requirement for the off site backup to go over the wire? How much data are we talking? What kind of pipe do you guys have from the primary to backup site? These just need to be cold data backups right, not a redundant site?
You should just backup the /opt/zimbra to tape and use a company like Iron Mountain to send the tapes off site to a secure location (or just drive the tapes to your off site location, depending on your security protocols). If tape doesn't work for you, substitute that for a disc backup of some kind.
Most of the off site data backup we work with is with dedicated large pipes, so data transfer isn't an issue.
