Have you considered to introduce a "deduplicate mode" for
rsync, replacing duplicate files in the destination directory
by hard links?

Of course there might be a lot of problems together with
this feature, but on creating backups it could help to
save a lot of disk space.

--link-dest might be interesting in this context, too.
