Yes, rdiff-backup should take less time to finish if most of the data
is already there. So if it fails the first time you can delete the
rdiff-backup-data directory and try it again, and it should run faster
the next time.
There must be some utility that uses ssh to maintain a more reliable
session but I've never had this problem and so have never looked for
something like this.
