 +=== MacOS 10.14.x and 10.15.x ===
 +The version of rsync that ships with macOS 10.14/10.15 is broken. You are best to compile your self or to install via a package management system such as [[http://​brew.sh|brew]],​ [[http://​macports.com|MacPorts]] etc. Using the bundled version of rsync on 10.14 and 10.15 is not supported.
 +
 +Also, at this stage due to SIP now protecting files in the users home directory by default, the easiest way to complete a local backup of a home folder on a system with SIP enabled is to [[network_backup|backup over SSH]] (which bypasses all the SIP protection) because full disk access to rsync when granted because it is started via SSH. For now 10.14 provides full disk access to the SSH executable and as such any process started via SSH. The other easy option is to disable SIP entirely. However, there are benefits to SIP ; as such  backing up via loop back address (127.0.0.1) over SSH is recommended. If you are backing up clients over the [[network_backup|network via SSH]] then this is not an issue as rsync will be granted full disk access.
