[Duplicity-talk] Large backup died - resume?

[Oliver Cole]

Hi,

My multi-day backup died with the below error. Is there any way to 
resume it?

It looks like I lost internet at that time. If my backup takes longer 
than the Mean Time Between Failures of my connection, is there any way I 
can prevent the backup from failing?

Alternatively, is there any way I could construct a small initial full 
backup and then add the rest of the files in via incrementals *without* 
having to move files around?

Oli
