Though this is better solution that what you originally wanted (rsync is going to be more robust and faster over your WAN link than bacula would be), you could either flash your v5 (even if you brick it, you can easily un-brick it) or simply pick up any number of the dd-wrt/openwrt/etc. compatible routers for cheap. A new Buffalo WHR-54GS usually goes for < $40, and sometimes <$30 and is far better than v5. I can't imagine that $40 is out of your budget. DD-WRT will allow you to set TCP timeouts upto one hour and probably actually understands keepalive. Besides, I don't think it a wise use of developer time fixing a problem for what amounts to cheap consumable (and totally fixable) consumer grade hardware. I rather they focus on features like the GUI, handling extremely large backup sets and improving the core functionality.
