Just like to say that this stuff looks pretty neat ;)
I'm not sure if the wiki said, but ideally a backup solution would use rsync-ish binary deltas.

It seems absolutely bullet-proof and user-friendly at least. And the cross-platform independence which Mono/.NET
achieves takes me by surprise every time. Quite amazing!
