Full paths with rsnapshot and rsync server at source side with --relative option are truncated - how to preserve full source paths?

When using rsnapshot with following configuration:
#/etc/rsnapshot.conf
snapshot_root /backup.rsnapshot/
rsync_long_args --relative
backup user@laptop:/home/user/test/ ./
a directory
/backup.rsnapshot/weekly.0/home/user/test/
is made at the destination machine.
However, if rsync server on laptop (i.e. the source machine) is used:
#/etc/rsnapshot.conf
snapshot_root /backup.rsnapshot/
rsync_long_args --relative
backup rsync://IP_of_laptop/user/test/ ./
no full path is preserved but folder /backup.rsnapshot/weekly.0/test
is made.
/etc/rsyncd.conf
on laptop:
uid = 1000
gid = 1001
use chroot = no
max connections = 4
syslog facility = local5
pid file = /run/rsyncd.pid
[user]
path = /home/user
comment = user home folder
Hence my question is how to preserve the full paths using rsync server like it is preserved when the rsync server is not involved?
