You can try tar | ssh or rsync with -z flag
webdav? Not sure of mega has that though
I've used this (http://albertolarripa.com/2013/07/10/megatools-synchronizing-your-backups-to-mega/) a few times, does the trick well.
No true syncing though.
ask your vps provider for temporary space upgrade, usually they coming as addon, use it for 1-2 month, after that only backup the different/increment.
better to clean up your data first, before backup, just to make sure you dont waste hdd space for unimportant stuff.
Many times I ask my client to clean up their data, first and when they actually do it, usually you will suprise how many space they can saved
Mount a remote file system first(maybe webdav). Split your backup file while creating. For example:
tar -cpj --exclude='backup.tar.bz2*' / | /usr/bin/split -d -b 200MiB - /mnt/backup/backup.tar.bz2.Backupsy have good offers for backup servers
If it's not 1 400GB file you are trying to backup, how about breaking it off into multiple pieces by only backing up certain directories at a time? Sure it doesn't give the same ease of use.. but at least you can upload it to a host that way without needing to double your space..
Though the size of those pieces will depend on how much free space you have left?
400gb use vps lol you willl abuse the server every time you running...go buy dedicated server
