Meanwhile, it's back in Gentoo. Probably too many people complained about rdiff-backup being gone. I'm a Gentoo user and I was really searching for alternatives. I didn't find any. There's a program called rsnapshot which looked very promising, easy to use and solid. It also creates incremental backups, and using hard links, all states are accessible as-is. Sadly, it (of course, due to the hard link concept) can't increment changed files, as rdiff- backup does. So if you backup large files, a new version will be created as soon as it changes. I would really love to see rdiff-backup's development going on. It's the backup tool I have been using for ever, and it's really fine. Probably, a first step would be to port it to Python 3? Just saying ...
