I have a few remote sites I am wanting to backup using backuppc. However, two are on slow DSL connections and the other 2 are on T1's. I did some math and roughly figured that the DSL connections, having a 256k upload, could do approximately 108MB/hour of transfer. With these clients having around 65GB each that would take FOREVER!!!

I am able to take the backuppc server to 2 of the remote locations (the DSL ones) and put it on the LAN with the server to be backed up to get the initial full backup. What I am wondering is this: What do others do with slow links like this? I need a full backup at least weekly and incrimentals nightly. Is there an easy way around this?

Thanks in advance.
