Sep 4, 2018 at 22:05 comment added Nick Bull @roaima Thank you for suggestion! I'll edit the question
Sep 4, 2018 at 22:05 comment added Chris Davies Thanks. Your comments about S3 costs would be really useful in your question as background information. It's the sort of information that can help direct someone to a most useful suggestion.

Sep 4, 2018 at 22:04 comment added Nick Bull @roaima The leading dashes are not part of the filename
Sep 4, 2018 at 22:03 comment added Nick Bull @roaima It isn't for saving file space. I create a lot of individual files (in the hundreds of thousands) that need to be backed up. We get charged in S3 per GET/PUT request, and it's becoming prohibitively expensive. Having one archive makes the process significantly cheaper
Sep 4, 2018 at 21:09 comment added Chris Davies Is your rationale for having backup trees of changed files so that you save disk space? (If so, what's wrong with rsnapshot and its hard linked files?) How would your partial backup tree represent a deleted file or directory?
Sep 4, 2018 at 21:07 comment added Chris Davies Are the leading dashes part of the filenames, e.g. - a.txt ?
