What it does is run the rsync command and save it output to the log file. It also saves the exact command that is executed, i.e., the arguments that is passed to the rsync and "Done" when the command has finished execution.

The %EOF% is just something that is used to give the input to the batch. Look here for more info: Here Documents

Go through the man pages for both the commands .https://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/1/rsync/
