Clearly there are hundreds of better ways to back up a sparse file.
The point is that I sort of expected rdiff-backup to be as smart as tar
and rsync in that perspective.
Its nice to be able to point a backup program at a system and have it
work sanely and not break just because someone installed a piece of
software that uses some wacky db library.
Over the years I have searched a number of times to find a better
package that I can use but rdiff-backup keeps rising to the top of the heap.

Has any progress been made on getting rdiff-backup supported again?
I ran into a quirk with lack of support for spars files.
I have a system that has a file of 2TB for some database that only has a
few blocks of data in it.
What sort of database file is this? Maybe there is a better way to
backup the database instead of doing a raw backup of that 2TB sparse
file?
