Thanks.. Maybe it's one of the things Tim said (firewall/ssh limit), but I
can't influence these settings as the remote server is on a shared hosting
plan. (my own firewall is ok) I have no control over sshd_config etc... or
the remote routers/firewall.
I also tried to add in the rsync command : -o ServerAliveInterval=15 -o
ServerAliveCountMax=10.
Could we just tell BackupPC to retry a few times even if the connection is
terminated? If I manually issue backup commands one after the other (after
each failure, every 1h1') I eventually get a full back-up of the remote
host. But it would be nice to have Backuppc do it automatically.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
