At the time I have a 512 kb ADSL and I will change to 1.5 MB soon.
To backup the remote system will take time but I hope in some hours will 
do it.
Theoretically 5GB at 512kbit/s(~60 kbyte/sec) will take 4.6 hours.
(1,5 hrs@1,5mbit/s)
The link you sent me is very good, helped a lot.
The link on that page is even better for me.
