Does rsync delete unmatched files by default?

[Walter Dnes]

  I think the answer is "no", as long as I don't specify --delete, but I
want to confirm.  I revently switched over to using rsybc to back up my
main machine to an external USB drive.  It took a while <G> because it
was the first pass so it amounted to a straight copy.

  My question is about future backups.  If I delete a file from the
source, will it be deleted from the destination during my next sync?
The script I use is below...

#!/bin/bash
rm /root/rsync_log.txt
cd /
rsync --archive --group --itemize-changes --links --owner --perms \
      --progress --recursive --stats --times --verbose \
      --files-from=root/include_rsync.txt \
      --exclude-from=root/exclude_rsync.txt \
      --log-file=/root/rsync_log.txt / /mnt/extd/image_i3/
