Resume rsync over SSH after broken connection?
Problem
I have to transfer large amounts of data (>80 GB) over ssh using rsync. Everything is working fine, but the DSL connection where the backup data is sent from will drop once every 24h for up to 3 minutes (switching providers is not an option). How do I: Automatically restart the transfer when the connection is back up? Make sure there are not by accident two rsync commands running at the same time?

Fix for: Resume rsync over SSH after broken connection?
The following should be helpful: When the connection dies, rsync will quit with a non-zero exit code. This script simply keeps re-running rsync, letting it continue until the synchronisation completes normally.
