AFAICS, --write-batch logs the changes made while doing an rsync operation from place A to place B, and lets you then use the batch file to apply those changes to place C if it were hitherto the same as B. I reckon it'd be a good feature to have a mode where the changes can be logged *without* updating B, so that the update to B itself can be done from the batch file. The motivation for this

I'd like to know if it's possible to run rsync in batch mode, but avoiding transferring the deltas, just generating the batch file. I'm looking for such a behaviour because overnight backup sessions are often interrupted and daily snapshots (--link-dest) of remote servers are truncated. Specially the ones using slow links. Options: 1) Using -write-batch when mirroring volume
