Issue/Bug Description:

Timeshift snapshots not working after rsync upgrade 3.2.3-8ubuntu3 to 3.2.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.2

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

With rsync 3.2.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.2 timeshift gives rsync error.

Expected behavior:

sudo timeshift --create

Synching files with rsync... E: rsync returned an error
E: Failed to create new snapshot Failed to create snapshot

Other Notes:

Timeshift works again if rsync is downgraded to version 3.2.3-8ubuntu3

[leviport]

Timeshift in Pop comes from the Ubuntu repos, so this should probably be reported upstream.

To solve this problem I installed the teejee2008 version (https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift):

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/timeshift
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install timeshift
