You should add:
 
        -x, --one-file-system       don't cross filesystem boundaries
to the $Conf{RsyncArgs} either in the machine config, or global config file.
<control c>

You have cancelled the backup before any error, please be more patient, this step can take a very long time. If the target "lamp" is a machine which is not on your local LAN, or is behind a firewall, the firewall or NAT router can sometimes drop the connection because of this long period of network silence. During this time, the target "lamp" is looking at every file on the disk, once finished, it will send the list across. I is also possible that the remote machine has come across a file which is blocking it, usually the one-file-system option will help with this to avoid files in /proc or /sys etc... (which are not important/real files anyway).

Also, send the output of "df" on lamp, you may need to change the share to /home if you have a different mountpoint for /home.

Adam
