This can be achieved by using the --link-dest=DIR option to rsync. That option
is not
currently used in backup_backend.py. I would assume that we would want DIR to
be the
last backup, so you may need to look in the backup directory and find the most
recent
(since the user may have deleted a version or what-not).
Although using multiple --link-dest=DIR is possible, I don't see any benefit
over
just having the most recent backup.

The --link-dest option is not used, but there is a cp -al performed on the last
backup to initiate the new backup directory, which is basically the same
thing...
The difference is that it creates hard links for all files, and then rsync
overwrites
the modified ones. It would probably be better to use the rsync option to avoid
hard-linking the modified files.
