I think you should first prevent this to happen.

If your receiving machine is using systemd:

  - define a X.service for doing the rsync
  - define a X.timer unit to replace using cron
  - launch from the command line with: systemctl start X
    - this will not start a new rsync if one runs already (if X.service is
      running)
