Sorry, that's not true.  The entire backup is removed if any part
fails, so even if the last share fails everything will be removed.

I know that's not very smart.  In 2.1 BackupPC will keep any partial
full dump (until the next full dump succeeds).  For rsync, 2.1 will
also be able to resume the full dump using the partial as a starting
point.
