I am not really sure how your proposed solution saves disk space, unless you have previously been storing multiple copies of the same file (in different backups). If that is the case, you may want to look at using hardlinks, for instance using rsync's '--link-dest' option.

Ah, I ommitted one very important fact. Every month the monthly backup directory on the target system will be written to a tape and the directory deleted. So on the 1st of May, April backup will be written to the tape and the directory containing the backups for April are being deleted from the backup server.
