I would try to make some pre-backup script that fails if the user is in the branch now and set the option 'not to run backup if pre- command failed'

dev-anon gave you a very good idea.

for example you could write a script that checks to see if your IP address is one that belongs at your primary location. If it does not, then the script fails, and then your backup does not run.

Now I don't script, so I don't have a clue how to do that, but it's still an idea.
