You can do something similar, but much easier with btrfs and btrbk.

Of course ZFS is even more advanced than btrfs, but unless you are doing professional datacenter level stuff btrfs will likely be sufficient.

Thanks, that looks like something I might have to try. :) Myself, over the network, I still don't do filesystem level incremental backups, sticking to either directories or virtual machine snapshots (both of which have their shortcomings).
