Please read this:

http://bacula.org/en/?page=feature-request

and I would not limit this to text files. I mean binary files can do
diffs as well. However as discussed before this is not as easy to
implement as you would think. One big problem is what happens if the
previous file is on a different bacula volume? And yes this has been
discussed on either the developer list or this list just a few weeks
ago. After this is solved the next hard part is finding someone who
would code this. The developers already have more than enough work at
the moment.
