I switched my personal "backup" from rsync to rdiff-backup. rsync compares only file timestamps and rdiff-backup uses checksums on files. So rdiff-backup needs much more time (10 minutes vs 80 minutes)

Is there a way to use rdiff-backup also only with timestamps? Or another backup alternative using timestamps?

Have a look at borgbackup.

The "did it change?" check is based on ctime, inode number and size. It is very fast if these did not change.
