[BackupPC-users] pulling initial full from a dump

I have setup our new backuppc server. However I having a problem pulling the initial full from two of our remote sites. Each site is on a T1 and has around 500GB it needs to grab. The backup times out before it can finish. Before I have had to get an external usb drive, take it to the site, do an rsync manually, and bring it back to the office to have backuppc grab it. However I have a good full from our old backuppc server that I can dump onto another physical machine here. I did this but when I pulled the full it mounted it as /home/servername instead of just / so when the new server tried to pull the incremental it was trying to pull from / meaning it didn't match any files and started pulling them all again. I cannot remember for the life of me how I did it before to get it to work properly. Any pointers?
