Dominic, thank you so far! I think setting up a linux server might be a solution, and will consider this, yes. We need a running backup and if this is the way to do, we need to do it. Moreover, I did not know timedicer so far. Reading the TODO list that includes a GUI, I suggest you to have a look on http://www.nongnu.org/jbackpack/ - this is a nice gui for RDIFF repositories. However, this does not solve the issue within rdiff-backup. Even though I could just install a linux machine, for many users this will not be an option....
