No, it doens't do what you think it does. Try this test:

"...rsnapshot is a filesystem backup utility based on rsync. Using
rsnapshot, it is possible to take snapshots of your filesystems at
different points in time. Using hard links, rsnapshot creates the illusion
of multiple full backups, while only taking up the space of one full
backup plus differences."
As I said, double your disk space. The incrementals may be small, but the
initial full backup requires as much disk space as the filesystem it's
backup up.
