Just for clarification, osgdem itself can't pick up on a partial build, but a vpbmaster can pick up from an aborted/failed build - as it breaks the whole job down into potentially thousands of task (even hundreds of thousands in large databases) and each task is dispatched in parallell for osgdem to build. Each of these tasks can't be partially built and then restarted so will have to be repeated in full if it aborts, but overall this is not a big overhead as each task only task a small portion of the overall build.
