Rsync or rsyncd will only transfer the differences anyway, even though
it makes it look like a full copy on the backuppc server.   If you run
rsync (over ssh) instead of rsyncd,  it might help to add the -C
option to ssh for compression.    If you haven't gotten the initial
full to complete, perhaps you can move the client or server to the
other network - or put a copy on a portable disk and work out a way to
make backuppc put it in the right place.
