is it possible to continue rsync after network interruption?

Yes, Linux is much faster. XP too. But this client is Vista :-(
I've recognized, that one file was send after 
2009-03-30 07:45:19 full backup started for directory C
:       16h
2009/03/30 23:54:01 [2564] send_files(1748, file1.JPG)
2009/03/30 23:54:01 [2564] send_files mapped file1.JPG of size 2163764
2009/03/30 23:54:01 [2564] calling match_sums file1.JPG
2009/03/30 23:54:43 [2564] sending file_sum

and the next time it was send after
2009-03-31 00:05:17 full backup started for directory C
:       12h
2009/03/31 12:39:04 [804] send_files(1748, file1.JPG)
2009/03/31 12:39:04 [804] send_files mapped file1.JPG of size 2163764
2009/03/31 12:39:04 [804] calling match_sums file1.JPG
2009/03/31 12:40:09 [804] sender finished file1.JPG

and one interruption later
2009-03-31 14:02:08 full backup started for directory C
:       8h
2009/03/31 22:32:35 [4952] send_files(1748, file1.JPG)
2009/03/31 22:32:35 [4952] send_files mapped file1.JPG of size 2163764
2009/03/31 22:32:35 [4952] calling match_sums file1.JPG
2009/03/31 22:32:53 [4952] sender finished file1.JPG

Thats not usable. The client is 600km away.

Because of using backuppc I have protocol version 28 on server side and
rsync version 3.0.4 protocol version 30 on client side
the rsync paramters are:
--server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D
--links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system -vvv

Should I use --ignore-times too?
