Re: [Duplicity-talk] Can duplicity resume an interrupted backup?

[David Schneider-Joseph]

My understanding is that the answer is no.

The best solution I've seen to this is to do your initial backup to a  
local device, then rsync that backup directory to a remote device.   
rsync can resume just fine.  From then on, your backups should be  
small enough that they shouldn't be interrupted often.
