Is there a way to have dirvish continue an interrupted backup from where it left off? Here's my situation:
My backup device is in my office, and my data is at home--this is an attempt to prevent the "data and backup destroyed simultaneously" scenario. So, backups happen over my DSL line. Occasionally I'll have a very large backup ( e.g., after uploading a bunch of pictures from my camera), and during this time my unreliable DSL connection happens to be reset. Is there a way to tell dirvish to continue the backup where it left off? I can usually be confident of 12 hours of continuous DSL connection time, but not often more. The reset takes about five minutes for a new IP address to be assigned and the software (on the home machine, anyway) to get the new information. :-( (I'm still doing tests to see if it's the router or the ISP causing the trouble.) Something like a "dirvish-runall --continue" would be wonderful.... I would be happy even for a solution that involved hacking the rsync line dirvish creates. Thanks for your time! - Mattox -- A.
