I think this is fine, and a partially transferred file is actually possibly less useful than not having it, and if only it gets your hopes up, or you don't notice immediately. Gosh, imagine watching Alien from backup and not being able to see the end! ;) In my case, there aren't huge files (or rather, I try to handle them differently (git-annex)). So the partial file issue is none for me. Yet, backups still sometimes never complete. I think it must be a combination of the slow link, and the fact that (I think) BackupPC transfers too much data for files that have already been backed up. I've started another thread on this and will continue there. https://adsm.org/lists/html/BackupPC-users/2016-08/msg00018.html Thanks, Adam and everyone! -- @martinkrafft | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "'oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing." -- douglas adams, "the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" spamtraps: [email protected]
