Transferring AD backups across the network

Due to capacity issues at the site in which AD backups are taken we are needing to look at ways of being able to retain the same number of backups by moving them to another location across the network. Are there ways to compress and encrypt the backups before copying them or products that can compress, encrypt and copy on a scheduled basis ?  Was also looking at possibility of using deduplication on a 2012 server in order to reduce the amount of data being sent over the network.
