Testing beta backup software.  My favorite thing to do :)

Seriously though, while that is good news, I think we still need a good
archiver.  For example, I'd like to be able to encrypt my backups and
drop them onto untrusted media.  Or even just back up to a filesystem
without xattr or SELinux support.  You can't do that with rdiff-backup.
