Rsync memory requirements have historically been too high for this.
I tried rsync'ing 100GB on a machine with 512MB RAM and about the same swap;
and it crushed the box to the point where I had to power-cycle it.

Best thing to do is set up a duplicate backuppc server that independently
backs up the hosts you want to have a redundant backup for.
