Yeah I was just wondering how hard it might be to get rdiff-backup to
see if the ssh connection reports a timeout and then just restart the
ssh session.
Perhaps if resume is fixed in 11.4 or later then I can write some sort
of script to monitor the connection and restart it myself?
Or is rerunning the backup straight away a resonable alternative to
--resume.

I can understand that completely. Do you have any suggestions off the top
of your head as to how I could monitor a timeout from a script myself?
