Package: rsync
Version: 3.0.7-2
Severity: important

Hello,

This a report that most of users may have experienced, at least once, with rsync

the use of slash "/" for defining the folder is not trivial, or not without 
consequences.

If the use use the regular folder rules, then one can end up into backing up or 
losses of data or directory tree.

I would just like to notice it. I am worry about data losses for some users, 
thus that explains this bug report.

Thanks for developing for Linux. It is great to give for all of us the chance 
to use Linux.
Kind regards
F.
