Convenient and transparent local/remote incremental mirror/backup
rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a
network. The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory,
but extra reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that
target directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago.
The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental
backup. rdiff-backup also preserves subdirectories, hard links, dev
files, permissions, uid/gid ownership, and modification times. Also,
rdiff-backup can operate in a bandwidth efficient manner over a pipe,
like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup and ssh to securely back a
hard drive up to a remote location, and only the differences will be
transmitted. Finally, rdiff-backup is easy to use and settings have
sensical defaults.

(revision 32)
- update to 2.0.5:
* CHG: explicitly refuse to back-up to exFAT because it doesn't
handle properly case insensitive deletion of files
* CHG: testing explicitly for existence of tempdir might make
certain setups fail now because tempdir was silently ignored
* DEV: Add a misc script to setup an ArchLinux as development
platform
* DEV: fix compatibility in rollsum and sum-size with rdiff
2.2/2.3 leading to errors in librsynctest
* DEV: function rpath.getdevnums now also returns the device
type, block or char
* DEV: replace deprecated xattr.xattr with xattr. function
* FIX: address PY_SSIZE_T deprecation warning appearing
under Python 3.8 in the C code
* FIX: avoid TypeError: a bytes-like object is required,
not 'str' when logging error message by fixing encoding
* FIX: explicitly test existence of tempdir and avoid "Can't
mix strings and bytes in path components" error
* FIX: failed on certain device files with no such file
or directory error
* FIX: Force encoding of log file to be UTF-8 on all platforms
and be lenient to avoid codec errors on logging
