My bad. sorry.

The original source by Guido Fiala has gone away, not on archive.org, either.
<http://www.s.netic.de/gfiala/rsbep.html> [dead link]

Man Page [ubuntu].
Best description I’ve found of what the code is trying to do. 
<http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/rsbep.1.html>

Page + source download link I first found.

Debian Squeeze dvbackup page. rsbep is gone from newer versions. No upstream?
<https://packages.debian.org/squeeze/dvbackup>
<http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dvbackup/dvbackup_0.0.4rj1.orig.tar.gz>

Ubuntu dvbackup package.
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/dvbackup/0.0.4rj1-6.1>
Source page
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dvbackup/0.0.4rj1-6.1>

<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/dvbackup_0.0.4rj1.orig.tar.gz>

----

The Ubuntu source tar file is identical to Debian Squeeze:

steve$ md5sum ../dvbackup_0.0.4rj1.orig.tar ../dvbackup_0.0.4rj1.orig-2.tar
