SyncBack has a fast backup option which stores all the file diff information in a database so it doesn't have to rescan each time. I've also found rsync to handle file diff very effectively.

Problem is in my case it takes forever to run after the initial local sync because of the massive amount of file compares. The only way I can see this working is if I use a program to mirror the data that keeps a local DB of file changes and just scans the local data looking for differences then copies just the differences. Basically a backup app that does a differential type backup with local db but overwrites the destination data with changes.
