Debian Wheezy system.
Since the last missive I reformatted the bad system and installed a
minimal system. I then very carefully set up rsyncd on the system to
be backed up. I checked out the rsync connection with:
telnet <target system> 873
I then restored one file to the backup computer. Once this worked I
started backing up one directory at a time using the GUI and the
direct backup method. The directories involved are /etc /home, /root
and /var. I started with the smallest first and worked up to the
largest. Everything worked fine for /etc. /root and /var. When I tried
to backup / home the system chugged along for a long time and then
went to sleep. I was monitoring the CPU, memory and network usage
throughout all of these processes. I had to manually stop the process
by killing the PID. The restore log had the following entries:
The above entry is in error. I really meant to say:

I did a lot of searching of the internet and while I found references
to the problem, I didn't fine a clear solution. I did find reference
to the -D switch for rsync as being related but nothing substantive.
I use inetd.conf to start the rsync daemon with an entry of :
rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/rsync rsyncd --daemon
If the -D switch must be included, should it be something like rsyncd
-D daemon.
All help very much appreciated.
