Author How to do incremental backup

Hi,
I think I have post many questions about my BBS server. This time it
comes to the back up problems. Now, my server uses complete backup every
time. I mean, every time it back up the system, we run tar zcvf .. ..
..But this method is very time-consuming. And I want to change the back
up system to incremental back up. Could you please tell is there any
good tool for this task? Or should I write shell script myself?

Thanks in advance!

Regards!
Bo
