I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but connecting the pool in this way isn't such a great idea, due to potential slowness and reliability issues. > Since moving the entire pool/cpool/pc was about to take a few days (!)

Incr. backup too ~625 minutes on Aug. 26th You don't say how much data this is, what transport you're using, or what kind of connection there is between the systems. This *could* be impressively fast for what you're working with.
