I can't help very much, because I don't know whether it is possible for dirvish to do such a thing directly but I have two suggestions that may help depending on how desperate you are to avoid starting again: (1) It doesn't really matter that there are some files missing in the initial backup, your first regular backup will copy across the missing files. So it depends what you mean by 'did not completely succeed'. If you mean that dirvish thinks it succeeded but some files are missing then you don't need to do anything. If you mean dirvish failed, then if you edit the dirvish files in the vault so as to convince dirvish that the initialisation completed, all should be well. (2) The underlying rsync can certainly complete a partial copy without copying everything again. So perhaps it is possible to use rsync directly and then fudge the dirvish records.
