I guess the capacity of the transport drive is way lower than the whole
storage needed?
Then the option is:
--write-batch
But as far as i understand it, you need a second (in this case local)
rsync-target that MUST be in sync with the remote server, before doing
the batch, so you can create the batch-file against it. Then you
transport the batch-file and last but not least apply it to the target
server.
Then comes the next day and you are back at square 1. :-)
But if you can tell more about the data and how it changes, there maybe
better(tm) ways to transfer them, especially when you have a
"disaster"
sync event.
