A backup over the timeframe of 4 days is really something. Consider to
do your backups to local filespace (e.g. usb-disk) first and use a
separate application e.g. rsync to do the uploading work. This way your
fulls would be "finished" faster locally.

To circumvent a hole in your backup chain you can put the new full in a
new folder and doing daily incrementals in the old week's folder until
the full is uploaded completely.

I see you are using the ssh backend. I read tests that the rsync over
ssh backend is faster. But in your case the line might be the
bottleneck, you could test it though.
