This doesn't sound to me as if it fits the bill, either. It sounds
closer than rsync, but I didn't read anything about changing drives or
maintaining an index. Rather, it sounds to me as if it merely creates
directories with diff files on them on a single remote target. This
strategy won't work when one's targets are much smaller than the array
being backed up. I haven't seen any 20 TB drives for sale, so this
backup and restore has to span multiple target drives, all but one of
which are offline at any given time.
