I'm having trouble installing rdiff backup on Centos 7. Every google search is telling to get this https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/r/rdiff-backup-1.2.8-11.el7.x86_64.rpm one way or the other but it yields a 404. So I tried installing development tools and building it from source.

          At the very least, the link is wrong, but https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/r/rdiff-backup-1.2.8-13.el7.x86_64.rpm does exist.



          But frankly, you usually don't need to install packages by bypassing the repository mechanisms (which means you wouldn't get updates for the package); in particular in this case, where the third-party repository is EPEL, which is about as established and trustworthy as it gets. In fact, the repository data needed to enable EPEL are even shipped as part of CentOS these days.



          So what I would advise you to do is



          sudo yum install epel-release
          sudo yum install rdiff-backup


          (unless you have an urgent need for a newer version of rdiff-backup than the one provided on EPEL – as with everything RH/CentOS, we like our versions on the stable to ancient range.)
