Backups are important, so I need to know if there was a way to check 
that the backup is 100% identical to the original, I guess rdiff-backup 
does that, as it can check for changed files.

What does rdiff-backup do with changed files? Just leaves the "old" file 
backed up and print out a warning?

Thanks.
