Thanks for your help. Finaly the right solution was an option in newer RSYNC
versions: --link-dest=DIR

So now I can write:

  rsync -avz --delete --link-dest=dir1 source_dir/ dir0/

and create backup files and hardlinks in one step, instead of:

  copy -al dir0 dir1
  rsync -avz --delete source_dir/ dir0/
