(OT for BackupPC)

Are these text files? I was toying with the idea of keeping MySQL backups 
in a Subversion revision control system on my Linux box, and the same might 
be possible with SQL Server. This way the revision control system would 
store only the delta between backups, and I believe it can store the delta 
compressed.
