I'd use rsync.

yeah I remember reading this issue in may. I was like "nope, not using that anymore"

I work with AI agents on the daily to code review slop, I would 100% NOT trust them to be anywhere NEAR anything that deals with backups of ANY kind. THEY WILL fuck that up. it's a guarantee.

You can always just stick to the last non-AI version.

They could also use openrsync.
