Well, Amanda does that, via incremental backups. What it doesn't do (because 
of tool support) is incremental backups of individual files -- mostly because 
we don't have (I'm not aware of) any tool that does that.

I am aware of how to create such a tool, however, and it's something we might 
do once Application API (or maybe Filter API; I'm not quite sure how to fit 
it in) lands.

Cheers,
