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.
