Most of the replication systems I've seen require that _they_ send the data to the remote site, so copying the data yourself is actually a waste of bandwidth, since it's all going to get copied anyway. (They have to do this because that's how they know that they're starting from a point in time for which they have consistency information.) You can indeed save on bandwith, however, by tunnelling your postgres connections through an ssh tunnel that's using compression.
