Does anyone know how effective the block-level file updates described
in the Jungle Disk docs (below) will work with Yojimbo database?

Jungle Disk Plus Frequently Asked Questions
What are block-level file updates?
When updating existing files, Amazon S3 requires you to upload the
entire file rather than just the changed portions.
For large files, this can mean gigabytes of uploads for only a few
kilobytes of changes. Uploading the unchanged data takes time and also
costs money, as Amazon charges for each gigabyte uploaded.
The block-level update feature of Jungle Disk Plus allows you to
upload only the changed portions of large files, saving time and
bandwidth.
Jungle Disk Plus uses a technique similar to rsync to detect the
changed parts of a file and upload only those changed parts to the
Jungle Disk Plus server, which then combines the changes with the
original file to update your file.
Block-level updates are important for backing up large files such as
Outlook PST files, databases, or other files that change regularly by
only by a small amount relative to the overall size of the file.
