Your rsync isn't networking. That means --whole-file is forced making
rsync work pretty much like cp. If rsync was networking it would
determine what is different about the files then use the existing
version + changes to make a new file (this is just extra effort when
rsync isn't networking).

-i, -v, and --progress all only affect the output. Once -i is in play
-v adds a header and footer and --progress of course adds the per-file
progress bar. -P is just --partial and --progress. I am not a fan of
-P as those 2 options are very different and I don't really see why they
should go together.
