What are the main difference between this contrib and the new e-smith-backup, can they be merged ?

They are quite different. DAR2 can do a disaster recovery backup job (ie a full system backup similar/identical to e-smith-backup), but can also be configured to do other partial backup jobs, with or without a mysql dump. Also each backup job is a full backup, there is no incremental backup.
A number of old backups can be automatically retained.
Backup with dar/e-smith-backup is really a one job only backup (ie the full system backup), which runs a full backup say weekly and then incremental backups daily.
A number of old backup sets can also be retained.
I think there is room/reasons for them to co-exist as they do cover different functionality.
