WAL shipping is probably best here. Configure an archive_command on
the master to compress and push logs to cloud storage, and configure
a hot standby on site to pull and decompress the logs. The wal-e tool
may make things simpler pushing to cloud storage, or just follow the
PostgreSQL documentation to archive the WAL files to a filesystem.
If that isn't good enough, you can look at more esoteric approaches
(eg. nightly plaintext dumps to a git repository, pushing changes to
disk on site).
