Exactly this is where the beauty of rsnapshot or similar solutions is.

You do a differential backup that "by pure magic" (in reality the magic 
is hardlink based) uses small differential backups to come out with a 
full daily backup.

On top of this, your multiple day/weeks/months full-backup "magically" 
(guess where the magic is ;-) ) occupies not much more space than your 
original data does.

Kind regards
