What happens is rather then check backup.0, it picks up /root (on the remote
side) as the dest and wants to wipe out everything in there.
Your command looks correct. Rsync would try to wipe out /root if the
destination filesystem path (following 127:) got cut off, but I don't
see how this would happen. What version of rsync are you using on
each side? You mention -E: is Mac OS X involved?
I recommend that you pass -vvv for triple verbosity and send the
output to a file. If you don't see what's wrong, I would be happy to
take a look at the output.
