Ok, I verified it, whatever one does, the ssh connection is terminated
after 1h1'. So the only "solution" to this would be to have backuppc retry
again and again until the sum of the files is transfered, and the final
backup is successful :).
Maybe I can simulate this behavior by setting
> $Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.03;
(roughly every 40 minutes) for the first copy of the files, and then reset
it back to the default 0.97.
