Well, lucene is "write once" and then, eventually, "delete once" ;)
Ie files are eventually deleted (when they are merged away). So when you do the incremental backup, any file not listed in the current commit can be removed from your backup (assuming you only want to backup the last commit). Don't delete the files in your last backup... keep the ones that are "in common" with your new backup as you don't need to recopy them (they will not have changed).
