If a full backup failed, then the next backup will be a full backup, but 
it will use the partial backup created by the failed full backup, which 
will include all changed files, up to (but not including) the file it 
failed on. I think this will mostly give you what you expect, just keep 
in mind when you say "(few) files" it actually means all files and 
directories after the file it failed on.

So, you need to ensure that the largest file you want to transfer will 
successfully transfer without error within a single backup attempt.
