I opened a "question" at the rsync package https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsync/+question/705772
And I also informed the rsync upstream maintainer about the situation. As a workaround until Ubuntu fixed the rsync-update-bug I would advice to use Back In Time from upstream (GitHub repo) or using the PPA. https://github.com/bit-team/backintime#installation ** Also affects: rsync (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to rsync in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2009756 Title: backups fail since latest rsync security update Status in backintime package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in rsync package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Backintime uses rsync to perform updates. Unfortunately there is an incompatibility between the currently released version of backintime and rsync >= 3.2.4 (see https://github.com/bit- team/backintime/issues/1247) Rsync has been updated from 3.2.3 to 3.2.7 on Feb 27. This broke backintime backups. The symptom is an error message like this: Command "rsync -a --delete --rsh=ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=240 -o LogLevel=Error -o IdentityFile=/home/aurelien/.ssh/backintime -p 22 /tmp/tmpxilwcwk4/ u...@example.com:"./backintime/switch/aurelien/1/20230308-230517-262"" returns 3 | rsync: change_dir#3 "/data/home/user//"./backintime/switch/aurelien/1" failed: No such file or directory (2) The workaround described in the GitHub issue works (passing `--old- args` to rsync), but maybe it would be better if the backintime package did this automatically?
