The CVS may be old, but the last stable release was "Version 1.0.4,
released January 15th 2006, is the current stable version." released from
the website.

We have had very few problems with it. If the backup was successful, it
will restore. The only thing you need to be concerned about is if the
backup failed. If it fails, just make sure the next backup takes. The
nice thing about rdiff-backup is that the destination tree is identical to
to the source tree. Magic is only necessary to go back in time and apply
the rdiffs. If for some reason the increment tree fries, you can delete
it and start over. The only down side is that you loose what had changed.
Hope this helps!

Roland,
I guess this confirms my fears as there have been no replies from any of the
developers. Unless the original developers take an interest in it again or
someone else takes up the torch it's probably not a good idea to use it.
This is a real shame because so far it looked like the most promising backup
solution for my situation. :(

hello yeroc,
in "theory" it`s still being maintained, but i think i share your point of
view.
at least i don`t really give big trust in rdiff-backup because i know, if
i get a REAL problem, there are not many people around who can help here -
too few people understanding rdiff-backup internals. i like rdiff-backup
very much, but it seems, the development stage is over and the main
contributors don`t spent much time on this anymore.
same with librsync - there is an important bugfix in the CVS which is
important for rdiff-backup, too - but still no new release since
2003-08-08.
very sad about this.....
regards
roland
