Well, rsync can "compress on the wire" (the data travels compressed), but rsync will do the first two items: identifies changed files and copy them. The compress to tape part will need to be done after that :) On the other hand, with the prices of tapes and HD today, I had chose to buy two servers with a lot of HD on each, put each one on a different building, and make a backups on them.
