I go for the (re)move of the remaining files.

Read it, and did not understand. :-)

Got a TransformFailed(6/4) when restoring. I guess that can due to a 
file that is partly rsynced from a crashing local machine to a remote 
storage?

I read that I should find the file in the archive and remove it, is that 
the right solution?
