[rdiff-backup-users] installing rdiff-backup on mac os x

[Elliot Adler]

as per the faq's the recommanded way of installing rdiff-backup on os x 
is via a program called "fink"
as per the "fink" website the fink/sourceforge has been down since the 
end of 03/06

can anybody advise if there any other ports of rdiff-backup to mac os x

because I use an apple xserver raid as a remote storage box and I would 
love move form rsync to rdiff backup

secondly Can anybody confirm the only time the remote server has to be 
running a copy of rdiff-backup is when you backup via  a ssh tunnel but 
if I just mount the os x share via the mount command on linux I will not 
need to be running the 2nd copy of rdiff-backup?

Thirdly is there any know issues between rdiff saving the files to a mac 
os x server?

Thank  you very much
