Absolutely not. Not on a program by program, application by application basis.

Look, if on computer there is a data area ... users/user-name/..... and if THIS (entire directory) is copied to back-up then ALL of that user's data has been backed up in one operation.

SPACE (cheap these days) is the only good reason to do incremental back-ups. But if this method is used, should be neither the responsibility of programs nor manual actions by the user, but an automated back-up system designed for the purpose << say runs every night and makes a (new) back-up of every file that has changed since the day before >>
