You can use the MIRROR TO clause of the BACKUP DATABASE command to create multiple backup files at the same time: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186865.aspx

Make sure you copy your local backup files to another server, as they will be useless should the hard drives on the SQL Server fail.
