Rsync has a certain amount of memory overhead per file in the tree - at 
least for version < 3.x and I'm not sure if the newer versions are 
better when talking to backuppc which will downgrade the xfer protocol 
anyway.  One other possibility is that if you are connected through NAT 
or a firewall there can be long periods of inactivity when rsync looks 
for mismatching files that can make the connection time out and be dropped.
