That doesn't really help enough, unless you know every directory under
the main directory being recursed because it doesn't list the
uppermost directory.

For example: One of my runs backs up /etc  However /etc is not
mentioned in the output of -ii.  All directories are listed following
a ^.d lead on the line but not /etc/ itself.

Of course I recognize the subdirectories of /etc/ but that is not true
for all places I run rsync.
