i thought about a stop and go procedure:

1)
get a list of all files to backup, calculate size

2)
create packages of files, roughly the same size

3)
package them sequentielly with a subroutine:

make tgz;
transfer tgz;
delete tgz;


sounds unusual but i don't see to much other arguments against this  
approach..
