{{Warning box| rsync-3.1.2-11.el7_9.x86_64 causes Affa to silently fail.}}
You can see the failure in your logs but nothing beyond that. No files will be backed up after you have installed this update to rsync.
See the link to Bug 12165 below.
The only current fix is to downgrade rsync on the Affa server. It does not matter on the Target server.
We are working on a solution and have test code running and will push a fix as soon as we can.
Do please contact us on the bug if you want to help test. A fix will be available faster if you do.
