Incremental runs will start from the beginning each time. An
incomplete full run should result in a 'partial' backup and pick up
from there on the next attempt, though. So force a full and keep doing
it until it completes. It might help a little to add the '-C' option
to ssh for compression if you haven't already. And perhaps you can
adjust the incrementals to use levels or do fulls more frequently to
not have so much data to copy at once.
If you have enough disk space locally, you might even use a scripted
rsync to do the initial copy, then let backuppc copy that for history.
A native rsync will be somewhat faster, can use the -z option for
compression, and can be restarted without much of a speed penalty.
