It resumes. You will see a message like this:

WARN: resumable backup 20240829-091727F of same type exists -- invalid
files will be removed then the backup will resume

Any suggestions much appreciated

Boost your process-max as high as you are able to speed up your backup time.

Cheers,
Greg

what will be the ideal process-max number to use ?

 Once I update the process-max param in pgbackrest.conf ,  do I need to
stop and  start the pgback rest ?

Or just editing the pgbackrest.conf  on the fly will reflect the increased
process-max  numbers advantage ?

Is there a limit for proces max. setting ?

We can't answer that.  It depends on what else your PG and PgBackRest
servers are doing when "pgbackrest backup" runs.

"pgbackrest backup" reads the config file when it starts.

I think you need managed DBA services.
