If a file from a full backup failed to transfer, what is the best way 
to make a subsequent, incremental backup include these (few) files? 

The remote system is a Windows system, reachable using rsyncd. 

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. 

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.
