OK, So you're missing one key FAQ item:

How does your software differ from rdiff-backup?  A compare and contrast
page would be nice.

The only thing i really saw of significance was the use of LVM for
snapshotting... that's not a feature to me, in fact it feels more like
reinventing the wheel and that's lock-in to a particular file system.

Tell me how you do it better (e.g. faster, more reliably, etc)!
