A partial backup is saved on failure.  With rsync and rsyncd the next
full backup essentially does an incremental (just checking the
attributes) on the files already in the partial, and copies the
other files that aren't in the partial.

So while the new directory starts off empty, all the files in
the partial that haven't changed are hardlinked without being
transferred.
