You might want to look in the directory trees under /usr/share/zoneinfo
and /var/lib/yum/yumdb and reconsider that statement. Files in that
latter tree can have over 1000 hard links, and there are changes there
whenever you install/update/uninstall packages. rdiff-backup does a
pretty horrible job of keeping the archive in sync with the source
when there are changes, and regressing a backup makes it worse. I have
an very complex audit that I run after every backup to put the archive
back in sync with the source tree.
