An rsync full should be marked as a 'partial' with the completed portion merged 
into the previous full as the comparison base when it restarts.  I think an 
incomplete incremental is discarded.  I'd bump up the timeout and add a -C 
(compress) option to your ssh command if you haven't already, and if it is 
trying an incremental, force a full run at the first opportunity.
