Slony version 1 is supposed to be live very soon. You can test beta3 if you like.
Slony-I version 1.0 is out now. It does not contain incremental backup. This feature is on the TODO list for 1.1.

Perhaps pgpool could help you. Version 2 was just released.

I was scratching my head, thinking that the transaction log and a backup policy (script) for each record set (sorry about the archaic terminology) was the usual solution. But there is a some resistance against writing more code, so I'm wondering what the current state of affairs with postgresql in regards to incremental backup would be.
A quick search of the lists produced the following:
Bruce talks in November 2002 about plans for point-in-time recovery in v. 7.4, but last December says it isn't there yet.
Jan mentions Slony-I replication back last January.
Somebody threw in some chatter about XLog.
Scott metioned briefly last August the possibility of combining a live data server with an archive server, or of using a daily schema.
What's the typical user doing for incrementals, besides going to a commercial server?
