Not within EPEL, but such a package is available on my COPR repository. Run (or equivalent on EPEL7/8): dnf copr enable frankcrawford/python2-rdiff-backup Also on EPEL8 you will need to install: dnf copr enable frankcrawford/python2-pyxattr This will install a Python2 version called rdiff-backup-1 which can be run in conjunction with the Python3 version. > -derek Regards Frank
