I do something similar, though I use git-annex / assistant to manage the files. It can have remote data repositories using rsync with transparent encryption (using GPG keys).

I also have a bigger drive at home mounted on a raspberry, which stores both the important files (as a second backup) and a lot of unimportant crap.

Thanks for the tip!

I'm hoping to look at rsync in order to do partial changes, so I could synchronize VM disks and other large files.

I don't like keeping my PC turned on to perform a sync, so I would love to setup a Raspberry pi to do the work for me, but it only has USB 2.0...
