I don't think this is related to containers/not. In any case, no, 
backuppc doesn't support rsync compression, if you are using rsync over 
ssh, then you can enable compression on the ssh layer, otherwise, you 
will need to enable compression on the VPN layer (if using rsyncd). 
Finally, rsync will already try to be efficient with network bandwidth, 
so this may not make a big difference anyway.

You will need to check what command you are asking backuppc to use for 
ping. Perhaps post the logfile from backuppc showing the failed ping 
attempt.
