Hey guys,
I'm having problems with rsync 3.0.9 on the NAS backing up to rsync 3.1.1 on the router. It mostly works and seems to transfer files but there are a bunch of errors like "unexplained error (Code 255)", "protocol incompatibility (code 2)", and "link_stat <path> failed: No such file or directory". The same backup was working fine with DeltaCopy on Windows with rsync 3.0.6. Given the protocol error and the fact that 3.0.9 and 3.0.6 are both protocol 30 while 3.1.1 is protocol 31, I'm reasonably sure it's a version problem (but who knows). I'd rather not mess with the NAS since that's where all my stuff is. If I brick the router, the worst that happens is we have no Internet connection while I replace it with an old one.
So I'm wondering if anyone has a MIPS version of rsync 3.0.9 from entware that would run in Shibby's Tomato v1.28.0000 MIPSR2-128 K26 USB AIO on an Asus RT-N16. It seems to be really hard to find. opkg doesn't offer old versions and I've spent enough time searching the Internet. I did find the source code on the rsync site, but before I go down that long winding road I thought I'd ask here first…
