So I know its a VERRRRRRRY long time ago but I finally got around to creating a rsync config file and putting the charset=UTF-8 in it. So it might help others, I can confirm then I got a protocol streaming error so removed the protected args parameter as you suggested and it did a backup.
Thank you so much for such a great product Paul On May 15, 2018 at 9:30:24 PM, Craig Barratt (cbarr...@users.sourceforge.net) wrote: I'm glad that it's working now. For OSX, the default rsync is really old. On High Sierra 10.13.4, it's rsync 2.6.9, circa 2006. I strongly recommend installing a recent version in, eg, /usr/local/bin.

I will report back some time tomorrow, once I have had chance to work on it. Thanks again, I really appreciate your help and backup pc is the best, have used it for ever.

You'll need to make sure rsyncd reloads the rsyncd.conf file before retesting. If it still fails, the next thing to try is to remove --protect-args from $Conf{RsyncArgs}.

It seems that when you upgraded to 4.0 the config file was not updated (or perhaps these are per-host settings, which don't get updated during an upgrade). The correct settings should be: $Conf{RsyncFullArgsExtra} = [ '--checksum', ]; # # Arguments to rsync for backup.
