Rsync killed my server

I have the following as a line in a script kicked off from cron:

sudo rsync -e ssh -avz /Times_QPS/ 192.168.22.72:/Times_QPS/ --eahfs

It logs the output to a log file, however rsync caused the log file to go to an 80gb file and fill up my disk because it threw a mental when a file it went to sync was no longer there!

Is there some way to get the sync to ignore errors?
