Sorry for the additional net.bandwidth, but I couldn't mail to Harri.

Retrospect does what you want, I believe.  I seem to recall from the
89 MacWorld Expo in Boston that the salesman talked about an option to
create a backup file on any device other than the one being backed up.
This backup file is the same thing that is written onto mag tape (that
is Retrospect's true purpose, a mag tape archiver/backup), but could
be written to a place other than the tape.  You could then use FTP or
GatorBox or anything else to move that file to your final destination
(heck, if you have a GatorBox, mount your Ethernet destination and
have Retrospect write directly to it).

Good luck.
