As far as backuppc itself is concerned, the backup just isn't complete
and if it was a full rsync-type it will try to re-use what it got on the
next attempt. On the other hand, the filesystem itself can be
corrupted and different OS's and filesystems have different ways to
protect against that and to recover if it does happen.
