Jason, As a developer, I would certainly recommend starting with the 1.1.x series. :) And indeed, it is approaching stable. Many people are using it regularly with great success. I recommend reading as much of the documentation and Wiki as you can. Both are quite informative and may give you some guidance on how to implement rdiff-backup in your situation. I also suggest testing with some small databases to get started. If you run into any issues, search the archives and then write to the mailing list.
