"	I am looking for a way to do incremental backups on my 3b1.
"I initially thought that the Partial Backup option on the Disk Backup

"that it backs up everything since that last complete backup.
"	I want to do incremental backups because I have a 67Mb hard disk
"and I KNOW that I won't stay up to date if each backup takes close to
"100 disks!
"	Any suggestions on how to do incremental backups or alternate
"methods of backing up the hard disk would be greatly appreciated.
"	Thank you.

read up on find(1) and cpio(1).
you will want something like:
find / -newer [date-spec] -print | cpio -Boacv > /dev/rfp020
