I hear about rdiff-backup, but I think its two main drawbacks are:

* on the webpage, there is no new release since 2009.

* has no de-duplication.

I was considering moving my 5+ years old rdiff-backup system to any of those new, promising programs:

* obnam [http://liw.fi/obnam/]

* attic [https://pythonhosted.org/Attic/]

They both do automatic de-duplication, old backup deletion and remote encryption.

The original rdiff-backup author went on to create duplicity. Maybe a big part of the rdiff-backup community has followed him?

I'm using obnam now.

For a link, http://duplicity.nongnu.org/

I backup locally using duplicity, then I ship those files off to Amazon Glacier using mt-aws.
