That looks like your problem right there. Nowhere in the command is
rsync. There may be some obscure way to pipe tar over your network (or
maybe not so obscure) but nothing in that command points to or creates
any sort of network connection to the remote computer.

Basically the command is just running locally which is why it's
backing up the server instead of the client.
