Sounds like another "vote" for an enhancement suggestion I made via email.

Note that Retrospect can do what you want, but I despise the recovery procedure: it seems to take forever to reconstruct the directories so you can pick out a file (or files), and their scheduling was iffy with each new release of OS X. I used it until I discovered the elegant simplicity of SuperDuper for us mere mortal users.

To me, recovery of files or entire drives is the most important feature of any "backup" program. With SD it is so easy: mount the backup image and copy a file, just like normal.

But incremental difference sets would be a nice, new feature if it can be incorporated without complicating the full backup simplicity, and if an elegant method for using the difference sets, both for single file and full disk restoration can be invented.
