What BackupPC will do is (perhaps arguably) the right thing -- start over
the next time it starts a backup.  The broken-partial files will be
preserved, for whatever value they may have, but that's approximately all
the impact they will have.

For what it's worth, we coordinate image and BackuPC backups here to keep
them out of each other's way through simple scheduling, and for VM's that
are prone to less predictability (or that are normally not up) the
BackupPC backups are only performed manually.
