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.
