I use Rsync between two of my machines to facilitate regular backups. In

double colon (::) method to talk to the rsync daemon on the receiving end.
I have been having regular failures of this backup and have traced it
down to copying a 60Gb .vdi (Virtual Box virtual disk image). The manual
command, and error I received when I just tried it was...
rsync Windows\ 7\ Development\ Environment.vdi
owl::alan/backup/"VirtualBox VMs"/"Windows 7 Development Environment"/
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (2966704 bytes received so far)

rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(601)
[sender=3.0.8]
After several failed attempts I replaced the :: method with a single
colon one (ie uses ssh) and it works perfectly.
So either there is a setting I need in rsyncd.conf or there is a bug in
this form of the protocol?
