This is not the case.

It's
It can't do what you want. The closest thing would be --compare-dest.

With --backup in order to end up with 2 files it has to write out a
whole new file. Sure, it only sent the differences (normally that means
over the network but there is no network here) but the writing end was
told to duplicate the file being updated before updating it.

Hi All,
For a backup purpose I'm trying to transfer only the changed blocks of

RSYNC_BKPDIR=`mktemp -d`
rsync \
--archive \
--no-whole-file \
--inplace \
