According to the version number on RHEL4's version of star (yes, I know
you can't always go by that) and the datestamps at
<ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/alpha/>,
RHEL4's star is from 9/13/2003(!!). The main patching I see in the .spec
file is selinux related (as one would expect). Thus, according to the
revision history at the ftp site above, RHEL4's star has rudimentary
incremental backup support and *no* incremental restore support. Not
exactly enterprise software, IMHO.
