The current policy is to link against the latest complete backup, or the latest incomplete backup if there are no complete backups.
Consider the case where after a complete backup, a lot of data is added, and that each subsequent attempt to backup fails (e.g. due to rsync-timeout.) Then all the work in the incomplete backup will be fruitlessly repeated.
Proposed new policy:

  • If there is a complete backup, and a later incomplete backup, link against the latest complete backup and the latest incomplete backup
  • If there is a complete backup, but no later incomplete backup, link against the latest complete backup
  • If there is no complete backup, but there is an incomplete backup, link against the latest incomplete backup
  • Otherwise there is nothing to link against.
