The other trick is to point inotify at the partition where everything is mounted so you have a list of every file that is changed [1].

That way instead of scanning the whole file system you just rsync the files that have changed.

[1] Assuming you can't hook into the app(s) making the changed directly. You can even just look for new/changed files if deletions are not a priority.
