I must confess that I really don't understand your problem.
You have a source bundle, and a back-up of it,
but you don't want the back-up to be identical to the source.
What could be the point of that?
I'm still trying to find a nice way to get a selection (1000s of items,
needs to be updated now and then) from my music library (many thousands of items and growing) that needs to be updated now and then, onto another medium.

No, you probably don't.-a Storage is cheap, so copy all the files once,
then copy only the new or changed files on subsequent runs of the
utility.-a If there are few new/changed files subsequent runs will be
very quick.
Windows has Robocopy which can be configured to do exactly this.-a In addition, if there are classes of files which you don't want to copy
there are exclusion mechanisms which work, provided that you can
identify the file classes accurately.
There must surely be something similar for the Apple ecosystem ...??
