Is this new behavior? I'm using Version 3.3 (Ubuntu), and since skipping 
one file does not count as failure, and since that file isn't written 
since the full backup, it doesn't get backed up in subsequent 
(incremental) backups.

Also, whenever theren is a connection problem, all the downloaded files 
from the next, incremental backup are thrown away. I'm currently 
circumventing that problem manually.
