Rsync based backups are only going to transfer the changes anyway - you
would only save copying the same change made to multiple machines by
using the pool.  I suppose that might be substantial if a lot of users
copy the same file on their machines or do some kind of system update
at the same time but if you can run rsync over ssh with compression
you're already doing better than most alternatives.
