Your situation sounds like what can happen if your vpn or a NAT
gateway or statefull firewall in the path has an idle timeout that is
exceeded during rsync comparisons, but having keepalives turned on in
your ssh command should prevent that. You might look with
tcpdump/wireshark to see if there is still activity when the backup
appears idle.

Backuppc doesn't exactly 'resume' where a partial stopped. The
previous partial is used as the basis for the next full where a
complete comparison is done (partials quickly skip files where the
timestamp and length match). So, it is still going to take the time
to read those files even though only differences will be transmitted.
At the end of the next failing partial, the run with the most files
will be kept.
