I'm reading conflicting information on this. Is this a supported technique?
start_backup
rsync the initial base backup
stop_backup
Then, periodically,
start_backup
rsync again
stop_backup
It's my opinion that this wouuld significantly cut down the 30GB base backup
I'll need to take for each

the file system backup, right?
Well, with the tar I assume you still have the old tar around. This is
not true with the rsync
