I'm currently using lots of excludes to build up a backup over a slow link
in stages ..thanks to this list for this suggestion.
I was wondering if there is an option for rysnc / backuppc to ignore files
say over 500Mbytes ? This would be most useful in getting the initial backup
in place ..then

When last I tried, backuppc didn't support this with its rsync
transport. I had to make a workaround.
Here's how I do it:
First, use rsyncd instead of rsync as the transport on the client side,
and set up your rsyncd secrets file.
For /etc/rsyncd.conf use something like this:
uid = root
