+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 (if it
+is running as root), and modification times. Finally, 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.
+
+This port tracks the "old" stable branch 1.0. You can use this one until
+you find the time to upgrade to the "new" stable branch 1.2 which is in
+sysutils/rdiff-backup. This port will be removed at some point in the future
+with advance notice of 3 months.
