Sorry, but ShrinkIt/GS will probably never have a feature like that, although
the possibility is intriguing.  I'm simply too loaded up with a ton of
work to start working on something like a backup program.  The best advice
I can offer you is to use Glen Bredon's ProSel-16 backup program.  It offers
selective extraction (like shrinkit), error correction (unlike shrinkit),
incremental backup, and works with resource forks.
