Jul 3, 2021 at 7:18 comment added Ricky Levi note regarding rsync, when it compare $SOURCE to $TARGET it doesn't mean the two directories are identical, it just compare what is found $SOURCE to the $TARGET, so if your rsync stopped in the middle, make sure to compare SOURCE to TARGET vs TARGET to SOURCE ...

SOURCE and TARGET has to be swapped. Oliv changed the answer to find missing files in the source directory. It's explained in the comments.
