Depends on whether its archival or active. For archival that you upgrade every 90 days or so, I'd choose encrypted media, either shipped or carried by bonded messenger, depending on volume, distance and sensitivity.

For active data, I'd do a first ship as above and then use data transmission for incremental updates (also encrypted).

Saw a news article recently that said the NSA routinely archives all encrypted online traffic. No political statement intended, but someone in the government is overlooking a potential revenue stream from offering people accounts that would allow them to access their own stuff for a fee. Because once my data is in the NSA database, I think I could probably depend on them to not accidentally overwrite it with a pirated copy of "Blade Runner" (that actually happened to someone I know, btw, hence my rather low opinion of offsite clouds).

If an offsite vendor maintains encrypted backups of your onsite data, would you ship it to them on physical media? Or would you rely on them for data transmission? I prefer the former: You burn it, you ship it, they sign for receipt, and it's easy to maintain physical media in a vault.
