Rsync wiped destination

I created two identical disks to save time i transfered the movies to both drives so it wouldnt have to backup everything first time round and then set rsync....but it insisted on starting again and erased 3tb of data,

Always good idea to do a dry run to check what the job does.

Maybe the source was a wrong and empty directory and you had the delete option enabled.
