pretty clear that the backup continues regardless of the exit status.  At 
line 1105 you can see that a nonzero exit status causes an error message, 
but execution continues.  And at line 2229 you can see that the whole 
thing takes place in a subshell anyway, and the parent continues 
regardless of what the child does.

It would be pretty easy to patch it to change this behavior if you want.
