Same for me here ,-)

Well, you can use find to get a list of all files beneath a directory
and pipe it to wc to count the lines. The number of lines represent
the number of files:

$ find /home/ | wc -l
315217
$

means, there are 315217 files under /home.

You could than use du to check the filesize:
$du -sm home/*
1708    home/back
178     home/encrypted
693     home/ftp
=2E..
shows the size of each directory.

$ find home/back | wc -l
10

shows that there are 10 files in home/back.
You could than generate a list of directories, that should be synced.

E.g. sth like that:
$cat rsync-list.txt
home/back
home/encrypted
home/ftp

And use a small loop to sync those dir:

for i in `cat rsync-list.txt`
do
rsync -a $i user@server:/back/
done

so each dir is synced seperately. All you have to do is to find a
list, where the directories are small enough to be synced. But I guess
trial & error should work ;-)
