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

If the backup is stopped, for whatever reason, it will retry the operation based on the configuration of the Dakota Backup DS-CLIENT. If all retries fail it will 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 the backup window allows, the backup can be restarted manually, immediately. However, if the backup set is configured with local storage cache the backup will continue its operation by backing up the data locally to the configured buffer. Dakota Backup, LLC has a dedicated team monitoring the progress of backup events 24x7. If a problem occurs, it will be escalated through the appropriate channels.
