Additional information
In pip (and pip2) I found a package "rdiff-backup (0.1.1) - Documentation for rdiff-backup" - if thats a documentation then where the program itself? Anyway it cannot be installed via pip:

pip install  rdiff-backup

Thank you!
I had to manually install rdiff-backup on Android 6 (by downloading built package from https://dl.bintray.com/termux/termux-packages-24/aarch64/:rdiff-backup_1.9.1~b0_aarch64.deb and doing pkg install ./rdiff-backup_1.9.1~b0_aarch64.deb) and it works.

It complains about "unused DT entry" but as far as I know it can be safely ignored.
