I've had an experimental port of rdiff-backup 1.0.4 and librsync
(upon which it depends) available[0] for a month or two. I haven't
looked at it much since the ports tree locked, but it's working well
on several systems running -current.
I also have as a local port, because I needed a quick and dirty backup
solution. However, before I trust my system backup to this, I would
have to go through the librsync code and clean it up a lot. It's
scary.
Feel free to give it a try; I'd be glad to get feedback on it, but
it won't be a priority until after the thaw.
