Yes, rdiff-backup should take less time to finish if most of the data is already there. So if it fails the first time you can delete the rdiff-backup-data directory and try it again, and it should run faster the next time. There must be some utility that uses ssh to maintain a more reliable session but I've never had this problem and so have never looked for something like this. -- Ben Escoto
