I'm using rsync with only the standard parameter in the restore
command. I'm trying to restore a centos 6 machine on a new centos 7
machine as a replacement laptop. The old one is dead ;(

on portable6 rsync is started automatically by sshd

your step 3. work perfectly as backup has alway worked. It's the
restore that give the error: Unable to read 4 bytes

But today everything work fine again. need to find why

Thank you
