Hey... He was not asking for "a way to backup only the changes", he was
asking "do any of the CVS systems allow incremental backups, where only
items changed since a last full backup would be backed up?" The diff
solution is your interpretation of that, it works, but for me it's not
really the best.

And I didn't make a "statement that an incremental dump is not a backup", I
said "a diff between two revisions is not really an 'incremental backup'".
And I gave reasons for that.

I don't really know what to reply; it would be a lot easier if you didn't
misrepresent the original posters' words.
