I don't see anything about the redone algorithm that possibly fixes the problem with files greater than 25 gig. Last time there was discussion I think it was supposed to be:Version 1.0.0 has been released. This release comes from the 0.13.x tree, and could have been called 0.13.7. rdiff-backup is more than four years old now, so I thought it's time it had a version 1+. (Originally I was going to wait until librsync had their version 1.0, but I'm not sure that's ever going to happen :)) And the basic rdiff-backup functions are pretty stable. Features recent to the 0.13.x tree like resource forks or ACLs may just be considered beta. Here is the relevant part of the CHANGELOG since 0.13.6:
if file_len < 4096: return 64 # set minimum of 64 bytes else: return long(pow(file_len, 0.5)/16)*16in Rdiff.py to replace the filelen/2000. I've since given up on using rdiff-backup for files as large as this, and never tested the changes, but I saw the release announcement and thought this might have been overlooked since it doesn't look like it's been changed in the cvsweb.
