What happens if a server stops or crashes during backup or if the backup is interrupted for some other reason?

0

If the backup is stopped, for whatever reason, it will simply continue onto the next backup in its schedule. It will not revisit the failed backup set until the next time it is set to run, e.g. the following night, at which point it will pick up where it left off. If, however, the problem has been rectified, and backup window allows, the backup can be restarted manually, immediately.
