[Dirvish] Continuing Interrupted Backups

[A. Mattox Beckman, Jr.]

Is there a way to have dirvish continue an interrupted backup from where it
left off?  Here's my situation:

My backup device is in my office, and my data is at home--this is an attempt
to prevent the "data and backup destroyed simultaneously" scenario.  So,
backups happen over my DSL line.  Occasionally I'll have a very large backup
( e.g., after uploading a bunch of pictures from my camera), and during this
time my unreliable DSL connection happens to be reset.

Is there a way to tell dirvish to continue the backup where it left off?  I
can usually be confident of 12 hours of continuous DSL connection time, but
not often more.  The reset takes about five minutes for a new IP address to
be assigned and the software (on the home machine, anyway) to get the new
information.  :-(  (I'm still doing tests to see if it's the router or the
ISP causing the trouble.)

Something like a "dirvish-runall --continue" would be wonderful....  I would
be happy even for a solution that involved hacking the rsync line dirvish
creates.

Thanks for your time!
