BackupPC 3.x uses older versions of the rsync protocol, which requires the
entire file list to be stored in memory.
BackupPC 4.x uses pretty up-to-date versions of rsync, which no longer
requires the full file list to be stored.
So it's likely that BackupPC 4.x will have a better chance of running
successfully than 3.x.
