Not really, 5 Mbyte/s is still kinda fast. You would have transferred 
your 200 MB backup within 40 seconds at that speed. :)

I posted basically your same question a few months ago and with the help 
of the friendly people on this list it turned out that I just have 
simply way too many files on the client, about 25 million actually. Do a 
"find / | wc -l" to see how many files you got! My find run alone took 8 
hours if I remember correctly. So how is rsync supposed to do it any 
faster :)  You can check the thread here, people share some really good 
infos: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=30104262

Anyway, the solution: I switched to HashBackup for that problematic 
client. Another great backup software - it performs an encrypted, 
incremental backup of 25M files within less than 20 hours. With BackupPC 
(I think rsync is the culprit) it took me many days (actually, it's hard 
to say exactly because they never really completed).

You can get it at http://www.hashbackup.com
