At some time, you need the daily admin process to run, depending on what
version of backuppc you are using, but I think backups are not run
during this time...

You didn't send your host config file, or any log files, or any relevant
information, so we can't conclusively answer you...

However, you did later agree that you are using rsync, hence it will
continue pretty much where it stopped last time.

Quite possibly not, given that the default configuration is configured
to remove a partial backup after it is 3 days old. That means (I may be
wrong) once it has been re-attempted three times, it would be removed
and the next backup would start from scratch....

Hopefully this one has been answered for you by now...
