Even you would use amanda you don't save disk space :-)
rdiff-backup technology saves disk space and net load but not
cpu on servers (python) :-)

I didn't understand it. Each new 10MB file is a change. And it is
authomaticaly stored in 'special directory' when do new backup.

What is recreate a new 'special directory'?
If you delete this spec dir, you can't recreate backup.
This is dangerous to delete enything in stored tree since
reverse increments upon on it :-(
Because of that I have partition, the backups are stored in,
read-only.
