> only something like a file-system+compression could do that

borg handles this just fine. I put all kinds of stuff into borg repositories: raw MySQL/PostgreSQL data directories, tar archives (both compressed and uncompressed), or just / recursively. You can do stuff like:

  $ tar -caf - / | borg create …
or even

  $ borg create … </dev/sda
and your repository grows by the amount of data changed since last backup (or by a couple of kilobytes if nothing has changed).
