[Box Backup] Feature request - for lousy connections

[Florian Eyben]

Hello Boxbackup developers,

I have noticed that a resume function exists for the restore command, 
but not for the compare or sync commands.
I am on a DSL line which disconnects every 24 hours (or sometimes more 
often). Thus, I (re)start the sync after a disconnect, however it starts 
to sync from the beginning, which causes a few hours of overhead in my 
case (250 GB on a slow CPU to save power). The same is true for 
comparing (quick compare).
During DSL disconnect the connection is down for approx. 1-2 minutes.
So my solution would be: Instead of detecting a communication error 
TLSWriteError, or similar, and terminating the operation, wouldn't it be 
easy to wait for a connection resume for a configurable timeout and then 
resuming the connection? This might be transparently implemented on the 
TLS connection layer, thus the higher levels won't even notice it... Do 
you think this is possible, or are there some issues why it might not 
work as proposed?

Best,
Florian
