I guess I should have mentioned that rdiff-backup keeps the most recent 
version of the backed-up files as a snapshot (not compressed) but keeps 
the history in gzip-compressed, delta-encoded form, so the histories 
are very compact yet access to the latest snapshot is as easy as 
copying the files from the backup area (which _is_ maintained in 
directory hierarchy isomorphic to the one that is being backed up).
