Re: [Duplicity-talk] Can a first (full) backup be stopped mid-way, then continued?

[Matthew Twomey]

No - the resume functionality doesn't work properly yet for ssh/scp.

If you interrupt a backup and then continue it - it won't produce a
usable backup you can restore from (although it won't give you any
errors either during the backup process).

Please see these two bugs on the topic:
