Warning: rsync --fake-super not possible on system (192.168.1.6) (please upgrade rsync to 3.x)

I suspect you are using an old rsync version. I am working on changes that will turn this Warning into an Error and raise it during backup, instead of waiting for problems during restore.

For now, please try again backing up and restoring with the system rsync (it is new enough).

@pcahyna : sure let me check and update you.

For the reference, the changes in question are #2632, but during the work on the PR I found that using the rsync daemon does not work together with the detection of the ability to use --fake-super. I would rather recommend to use the ssh transport (URLs without the ::) instead of the rsync daemon. (There is apparently no way to specify from the client side that the daemon should use --fake-super on its side, -M--fake-super is accepted but ignored.)
