    This keeps backups efficient since you can ask the filesystem to only send the changes instead of going over all the files and figuring out what has changed, so it’s probably a lot faster.

    Aaaah!

      ?? Maybe you don’t have enough data for it to matter, but when you have tons of files, manually looking through the filesystem can take a while, whereas the FS can keep track of what’s actually changed.
