Thanks for the links. I'm using rdiff-backup already on some machines now.

The reason for trying to do this with mysqlfs is that it has special 
potential
on maintaining versions, cause it's fuse and it's in a database. Then 
you do not need a
complicated script as rdiff-backup, but backups are made on the fly.

I'll check the links anyway.
