But wait, isn't the btrfs snapper simply snapshots on the same drive? That's hardly the same thing as a differential backup.
Yes, however, if both filesystems are btrfs, then snapshots can be transferred across volumes with the send/receive function. I'm not sure whether snapper supports this or not. I mentioned snapper, because it maintains limits for the number of snapshots per time period, just like rdiff-backup, and it is supposed to make the entire process more user-friendly.
