star can do real "incremental" backups using a built-in support for changed files that works the same way as ufsdump does. As a result, star also allows to do incremental restores from these archives which is something other star implementations do not offer in a working way. There is also the pax implementaion from David Korn and Glenn Fowler that does "differential" backups, but I did not yet test this.
