I use rsync for daily local backup from SSD to HDD, so that in an emergency I should be able to boot from the HDD. For that I use --fileflags --force-change My solution is to lock the rsync port at rsync-3.4.1_7 version, preventing upgrade to 3.4.2 and further. Is this what you want users to do? Are there plans to add the --fileflags option again? Or is there another way to do the same with rsync (not backup|restore)? -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
