Thanks again for your answers.
I just did subsequent full backups until all 5GB of data were copied
(usually getting ~120MB transferred each time).
Then, an incremental backup takes less than an hour so it works ok!
But if I happen to have big changes I might implement the custom rsync
method..
Also, I put -C and I'll see how much more it will download in 1h01'.
Thanks!
