If a full backup failed, then the next backup will be a full backup, but it will use the partial backup created by the failed full backup, which will include all changed files, up to (but not including) the file it failed on. I think this will mostly give you what you expect, just keep in mind when you say "(few) files" it actually means all files and directories after the file it failed on.
So, you need to ensure that the largest file you want to transfer will successfully transfer without error within a single backup attempt.
