linux is pretty easy:

rsync -av $RANCIDHOME/var $BACKUPUSER@$BACKUPHOST:$REMOTEBACKUPDIR

eg:

rsync -av /home/rancid/rancid/var rancid at fileserver:/backups/rancid

If you have a windows server, you could mount it via samba and then
use rysnc to the mounted filesystem, eg:

rsync -av /home/rancid/rancid/var /mnt/backups/rancid
