Specify a backup dir outside the destination area using a --backup-dir
path that is absolute or begins with ../ .  This should work unless
the destination is the root of a module of an rsync daemon.  If this
is the case, you're out of luck, and you should keep the backup dir
inside the destination and use --exclude .
