I'm interested in using rdiff-backup to backup my home directories in Ubuntu Hardy to an external drive (not over the network).

Are future versions of rdiff-backup guaranteed to be able to read older backups?

Yes, there is generally an effort to do that. Furthermore, the archives are kept in an open format.

Please see the FAQ entry: "2. Is rdiff-backup backwards compatible?"

Thanks,
