Sounds like --write-batch will do what you want. Assuming you are using
rsync 2.6.3 (I would not recommend earlier rsync's batch support). So
run this on h2:
cd /tmp
rsync -av --write-batch=foo h1:/src/ /dest/
Or _alternately_, this on h1:
cd /tmp
rsync -av --write-batch=foo /src/ h2:/dest/
Then, burn /tmp/foo and /tmp/foo.sh onto DVD and take it to h3 and run
this:
cd /mnt/dvdrom
./foo.sh
Or, if you need a different dest, this:
cd /mnt/dvdrom
./foo.sh /different/dest/
That's the simple version. You aren't required to use the foo.sh file
if you want to run the appropriate --read-batch=foo command yourself on
h3.
