I'm interested in seeing what kind of grief you're getting from rsync.
I've had to argue with it in the past; feel free to reply privately if
you'd rather.
Don't rule out dumb and strong, it works great for me. On one of my
servers, I do incremental backups hourly like so:
cd /some/where
find . -newer /some/timestamp -print > LIST
... [dork around with LIST]
pax -rwdv -pe /else/where < LIST
touch /some/timestamp
This box has ~630,000 files using 640 Gbytes, but not many files change
in an hour. The find command above rarely takes more than a few minutes.
If you leave out the pax, you'll have a list of recently-changed files
which you could feed to rsync via the --files-from=LIST argument.
