rsync 3.0.9 partial file left after CTRL-C WITHOUT using --partial

Hello,

Just to clarify is the file(s) only left when using rsync to transfer to a non-root partition? The reason I ask is that the tests performed (as quoted in the previous email where carried out on the root '/' partition). I can easily retry on an another volume (network mount or locally attached FW HDD / USB memory stick).

Thanks.

As such, I have been contemplating the consequences of enabling an option which would allow multiple failed backup attempts to be used as hard-link sources in an effort to reduce the time additional backup runs are performed should the link be interrupted for some reason during a backup (e.g. full disk space / system crash / network failure).
