I suppose it would be possible to add something like a transaction log
to BackupPC which could be used to script rsync, create a minimal tar
archive etc.

Of course, the transaction log would have to be written/maintained by
some central place within BackupPC. It could consist of just the
NewFileList moved to ${TopDir}/changelog plus an extra file created by
BackupPC_nightly...
