rsync is good tool, but it is not a backup tool, while Borg Backup is a
perfect backup tool.
the mentioned functionality is meant to reduce traffic and save time more
than reduce disk space.
And I do not know how a restore would look like with rsync. With borg it is
a one liner.
I leave the decision with the OP
Rsync is an excellent backup tool. Not the least because it contains an exact copy of the source.
Restore is simply a question of using it in reverse.
