What does f+++++++++ mean in rsync logs?

Question

I\'m using rsync to make a backup of my server files, and I have two questions:

1. In the middle of the process I need to stop and start rsy

Answer 1

1) Wodin, that's not entirely true. If using --partial or -P tag (same as --partial --progress) rsync resumes interrupted transfers.

2) Exactly, that's common output for the --itemize-changes tag.
