Replication on poor internet connection

[Quba]

I am trying to replicate dataset (160GB) on my home FreeNAS 9.10 to another Freenas 9.3 (far away). My home internet connection is very slow, only 5Mb/s.

Replication allways fail after about 18-20 hours with message
Replication data/Photos -> server:data/backupPhotos failed: Failed: data/Photos (auto-20160528.0811-2w)

Today I have noticed in the Reports-Network graph that the connection was stopped for one minute and after it I have received email informing me about replication fail. So I expect that in the case of connection lost the replication stops.

What method should I use to backup my data? I think that problem is only the first full backup containing big amount of data. Any following snapshot should be OK.

Can you do the first replication with both machines on the same local network?

If not, you might have better luck with rsync.

Putting both machines to local network is problematic so I will try to use rsync.
