Have you looked at syncing ZFS snapshots for backups? (that way if you just move a file, it doesn't reupload the whole file; just the disk metadata)


I did think about doing that but I actually choose not to do much in the way of snapshots on my server and instead use rsync.net's snapshotting, mostly to save myself money on storage costs locally (as files change quite a lot but I rarely need to restore anything). Not sure if the costs work out in my favour long-term or not so I might revisit that in future :D
