I find ?dar slow even on an internal hard disk. 

I would run the backup in an internal HD, then copy it over to the 
external drive; as you can limit the slice size in dar, and run a script 
on completion of each slice, you can use that to move over each completed 
slice to the usb drive, and thus you wouldn't need 250 GB free on your 
internal drive.
