I doubt it does. rdiff-backup librsync functions are very unix like and 
require the cgywin way of handling things. SFU doesn't provide anywhere 
near enough functionality for it to run. I haven't actually tried it 
either, but I have tried to get rdiff-backup to run on native python. 
The librsync module just won't compile without a complete rewrite that 
takes out all the unixisms.
btw, if you want rdiff-backup packages for windows you can get them here:

rdiff-backup is win32->unix only at this stage (unix<->unix) is fine.
quite possible we could make a win32 compatible version of rdiff-backup, 
but I don't have the resources for that yet.
