I recently read a tip on lifehacker about checking and fixing downloaded 
ISO media with bittorrent.  bittorrent is designed for small incremental 
part downloads and organizing that data which could make it a nice fit 
for remote filesystem syncing with any filesystem that can do readable 
snapshots.

consider make an LVM snapshot and then a torrent file for it.  setup 
your backuppc server as a bittorrent tacker.  send the torrent to the 
remote machine and run it with rtorrent or some cli torrent client.
    

Hmm... Have understood you correct if what you want to achieve is a sync of a 
large file set without the huge memory overhead of rsync?
