BackupPC is defiantly not dead, a new beta was just released last week:
Version *3.1.0beta1* released on October 21st, 2007
I don't want to speak for the development team, but there has been much more
developmental focus on keeping the software OS agnostic.
As for fancy windows-centric features like the open file/volume shadow copy
, there's always a way to work around this and roll your own. Perhaps deploy
ntbackup to backup open files and dump them into local stored backup files,
which then get picked up by BackupPC?
