I'm looking for a linux program that can mirror a directory to another drive and move a subdirectory in the mirror.

As long as the backup system performs deduplication, it should be able to store the backup data efficiently even if the source files are constantly moved around or renamed.

ZFS snapshots can perform deduplication. There is also ZBackup, which also has deduplication support.
