Thanks for hint. I think I will leave it this way for the time being as the remote server to which I am putting backups is not mine, and backups are made fine now. But will hopefully remember your advice when I change to my own backup machine.
But I wanted to share this with you as it might help others avoid the several hours of cursing I myself have had.
