Consider using something other than rcp.  Among your options are scp:
scp -r / remote.host.net:/mnt/backup

or, better, tar:
tar czplf - / | ssh remost.host.net '(cd /mnt/backup && tar xzpf -)'

or rsync:
rsync -av -e ssh / remote.host.net:/mnt/backup

run 'top', type the 'M' character to sort by memory use.  Kill off the
processes that are using a lot, which you do not need.
