Looks like something is wrong on the target side, dropping the 
connection.  File system problems?  Out of memory?  Are both machines on 
the same LAN or could there be a problem with networking equipment 
between them?

Backuppc doesn't use the rsync binary on the server side - it has its 
own implementation in perl.  But it looks like things started OK and 
then either the remote side quite or the network connection had a problem.
