backup: notification instead of polling

realized that my machine needs an awful lot amount of time to walk through a directory to check whether anything has changed and, hence, need to go into a backup. instead, i thought, it would be neat to use e.g. inotify. 

current idea: use iwatch to monitor for file system events, record the files, feed the list to the backup...

- will keep you posted...
