The third did not really finish. You've still got no complete backup
because you interrupted it.

SIGPIPE means that somehow the network connection was closed.

I'm not sure about that. If the client timeout is met, you'll see a
SIGALARM.

The following command (executed in the 0/ directory if the backup) will
count all files in the backup:
  find . -type f | grep -v 'fattrib' | wc -l
And this will count all directories:
  find . -type d | wc -l
