First, I added the following before any old backup gets deleted:

Browse source 
>    # Verify source is up and accepting connections before deleting any old backups
>    rsync "$source" >/dev/null || _exit_err "Source ${source} is not readable. Skipping."

I think that this quick test is a much better than, say, pinging
the source in a pre-exec script: this tests not only that the
source is up and connected to the net, it also verifies (1) that
ssh is up and accepting our key (if we are using ssh), and (2) that
the source directory is mounted (if it needs to be mounted) and
readable.
