I think so, it was me that interrupted it!  My system was running a
bit slowly and I noticed the rdiff-backup was still running several
hours after it started so I assumed something was broken and killed
it.  This was a backup to a new remote disk so I thought I must have
done something wrong, I think it was actually just the first backup
taking a long time.
