updateios breaks the update due to network disruption

You can reach out Deepak Menezes(deepakme@in.ibm.com) .
This is with respect to issue we hit on case TS011570960
Was installing Fix Pack 3.1.4.10 on top of his system 3.1.3.14.
During the installation the Putty session disconnected due to network disconnecting.
As per support the best and only supported method is to restore from backup and run updateios again.
This is a tedius process . I would request for updateios to be run in the backgroup and once completed , provide a console message to reboot . Even if the window gets closed
Keep providing me a errrpt , until the reboot is completed , which again is important
