Also, re-reading your original post, I am thinking you might not need full de-duplication. You are suggesting that a couple of files are changing, not that segments of a large file (like a database) are changing.
That suggests that incremental rsync backup to an RN100 series or RN300 series might serve. Only files that are changed are copied (but they are copied in their entirety). Older versions are easily retrieved using the OS6 snapshot feature. The snapshots give you a full view of the original folder at the time the snapshot was taken, but only require the disk space needed to store the files changed in the parent folder after the snapshot was made (thanks to btrfs).
