Reliably transferring a large amount of data from one machine to another over DSL

[Shri Shrikumar <shri@urbyte.com>]

Hi,

I have two machines connected to the internet using DSL. What I would
like to do is backup one machine to the other. The files are compressed
and encrypted and then transferred usinc SCP. Atleast, thats what its
supposed to do. It does the first two steps fine but the transfer is
regularly unsuccessful - it aborts with "connection lost" or similart
(cant remember exact error message). The procedure is run from cron.

Any ideas on a reliable way to transfer 1 or 2 gb of data over dsl ?

Thanks,


Shri
