This doesn't quite make sense. Your target and compare-dest dirs are
the same dir (the compare-dest is relative to the target so ../dest is
the same thing). Also, --backup only matters when rsync is deleting
or overwriting something which it isn't doing.
I would suggest using --link-dest instead of --compare-dest or --backup
