Yesterday, I start looking for scripts doing just that, but I ended up cutting and pasting snipets from the tar info files and the cd-writing howto instead. My intention is to have cron jobs doing incremental dumps every week. On full dumps I haven't really decided yet. If you want I can send you the scripts when they are ready (yesterday I only had time to do/test the full dump).
