The dedup folder must be created on a disk which is directly attached to the media server. To backup your branches, make sure that the bandwidth of your WAN link can handle the traffic.
The recommended way to backup a remote location to the main location is to install media servers with dedup option on both ends. Backup the remote location to the dedup folder at the remote location and then use optimised duplication to duplicate the backup to the main office. This way only the changed data blocks are sent over the WAN link thus minimising the bandwidth requirement. For this arrangement, you would also need CASO.
