a general answer, not specific to HAMMER:

you could access both snapshots and try a simulated/do-nothing run of
rsync on it.

What I also use from time to time when "checkpointing" other filesystems
is running "find -ls >/store/data/here", which you can then diff against
a later "checkpoint".

Hope that helps.
