I'm sponsoring this case for Pradhap Devarajan. The timer is set to
4/30/2008.
This case is to integrate rdiff-backup into Solaris, and requests micro
release binding. A man page, FAQ html and examples html are in the case
directory.

2. Project Summary
2.1. Project Description:
rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another locally and also over
the network.
4. Technical Description:
Summary:
This project integrates rdiff-backup-1.0.5 into Solaris
This project requests a micro binding.
4.1. Details:
rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a
network.
The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but
extra
reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that
target directory,
so you can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea is
to combine
the best features of a mirror and an incremental backup.
rdiff-backup also
preserves subdirectories, hard links, dev files, permissions,
uid/gid ownership,
modification times, extended attributes, acls, and resource forks.
Also, rdiff-backup can operate in a bandwidth efficient manner
over a pipe,
like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup and ssh to securely
back a
hard drive up to a remote location, and only the differences
will be transmitted.
