An addition to BPC could do the trick, preferably saving the result in
another directory than the main one, by checking which files have been
touched the present day and save them automatically; it may be triggered
from a crontab. And before each complete backup, BPC would empty this
daily directory for the next day.
A better solution would be a change to rsyncd to monitor its filesystem and
remember which files were touched since the last backup. Some filesystems
have a "backdoor" like inotify that lets you get notified of files getting
touched. rsyncd could log these and only consult this list, not the whole
filesystem. You'd need some way to reset the list and force a full
filesystem check.
