Thanks again for your answers. I just did subsequent full backups until all 5GB of data were copied (usually getting ~120MB transferred each time).
Then, an incremental backup takes less than an hour so it works ok!
But if I happen to have big changes I might implement the custom rsync method..
Also, I put -C and I'll see how much more it will download in 1h01'.
Thanks!

incomplete full run should result in a 'partial' backup and pick up
from there on the next attempt, though. So force a full and keep doing
it until it completes. It might help a little to add the '-C' option
to ssh for compression if you haven't already. And perhaps you can
adjust the incrementals to use levels or do fulls more frequently to
not have so much data to copy at once.
If you have enough disk space locally, you might even use a scripted
rsync to do the initial copy, then let backuppc copy that for history.
A native rsync will be somewhat faster, can use the -z option for
compression, and can be restarted without much of a speed penalty.
