Hoi, An incremental backup starts with a full backup. I think I remember that they were in the process of getting such a process started. Thanks, GerardM
I don't know about that. You may be thinking on dumps made using the previous dump. Only new data is retrieved, but the result is a full dump, too. There are also the new split dumps, but they aren't incremental.

With XML import / export that could be done quite easily. And even with SQL you probably can limit entries at least of some tables (revision, user, page). Though I am unsure, if it is possible to make incremental dumps of all the tables - that would require SQL operations log, instead of simple range inserts, probably.
It would require the new dump to delete previous entries: Pages deleted, revisions oversighted, articles renamed...
