BA106: Unhandled exception in the Rsync Engine¶
Superseded by newer technology
Rsync has been superseded by newer cloud backup destinations, and we strongly recommend using one of them instead (see Cloud Backup). Customers with older environments can continue to use rsync with the version of BackupAssist they have, but without technical support, which ended in November 2023.
