To do incremental backups with find:
1) backup everything
2) create a file with the current time as creation date: e.g.
touch epoch-day
3) when you wish to do an incremental backup issue the following:
find directory(s) -newer epoch-day -whatever
4) reset time of incremental backup
touch epoch-day
I have been using this method for some time with good results.
Hope this helps. If you have any further questions feel free to e-mail them.
