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.
