Hi Loukas, Thanks for your fast response. You said that "--filter protect" shouldn't have triggered the new security checks. Do you mean that this is an rsync bug? From what I see in their logs, ever since 3.2.5 they have been busy fixing bugs related to file-list validation. If this is one of them, it could be useful to notify upstream about that (and when the proper patch lands, I will nudge the Slackware guys for a new update). For the moment I reverted to rsync 3.2.3. I'm using luckybackup all...

Hi all, I got bitten by "protocol incompatibility" errors after I upgraded my Slackware64 15.0 system with security patches recently. It involved moving from rysnc 3.2.3 to 3.2.5. As you can see from the logs at https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/NEWS version 2.3.4 introduces behaviour changes and 3.2.5 has security enhancemnts. The old behaviour should be achieved by using --old-args in the options, but it didn't help me. You can disable the new security checks by using --trust-sender in 3.2.5...
