Grief, no wonder it is slow then. That is going to be so slow as to be unusable. How do other people manage?
Take your first backup over the local lan, then move the disk/DVD/tape to the other machine and copy the data off (make sure you preserve all the file time attributes!) then you will only need to backup changes which if you aren't dealing with a *huge* dataset shouldn't be a problem.
Also like Wayne said, ditch using NFS over a tunnel and just use rsync over ssh with compression, that should make quite a big difference.
Thanks Adam
