Since you have two locations, you could be your own cloud. Even if it's
just dialup up there, you can rsync if you have patience.
Carry a copy the first time, then just copy up changes over the network.

So you'll also want to make sure the data is encrypted at least at
whichever place you generally consider to be the remote location.

The issue with a cell provider is that you'll run into maximum data
transfers, but they might be more than you could possible transfer with a
modem in a month :).

Glad to hera your community is getting support.
