+When backing up to remote servers, is data encrypted before leaving the local machine, or do I have to trust that the remote server isn't malicious?

+If a backup stops mid-way, does the already-backed-up data stay there? I.e. does Attic resume backups?
+    Yes, during a backup a special checkpoint archive named ``<archive-name>.snapshot`` is saved every 5 minutes

+    retransmitted if a backup needs to be restarted.
