Try setting ClientTimeout (on the Backup Settings tab) to something
larger than the default 72000.  72000 seconds is 20 hours, which is
approximately how long you say it takes your backup to fail.

I recommend switching it back after you've got a complete full.

Of course the other option is to put the BackupPC server on the same
local network as the machines you're backing up in order to get your
first backup, and then move it off-site.
