--fuzzy question

Hi,
I have a file that changes slightly in size every day and has the timestamp
appended to it.. for example on the 14th may:

MybackedUpFileBlabla_200905140219.bak

This is transferred by rsync to another server.
The next day that file is deleted and substituted by a new file on the
sender.. the new file would be named for example (15th May):

MybackedUpFileBlabla_200905150221.bak

The new file will be generally slightly larger in size, but the containing
directory is exactly the same.
I was hoping to use --fuzzy and --delete-after, but it doesn't seem to be
speeding up the transfer. I am assuming that this is because I have both a
change in name AND a change is size/modtime?

I was looking into the find_fuzzy function, but i'm not sure if there's
anything I can tweak in there to make this work.

Thanks for any help
Julian
