Not to my knowledge. Postgres itself only allows full backups via pg_basebackup
or pg_dumpall.
Barman[0] allows differential backup via rsync+ssh which is, however,
not supported on Windows. Barman supports Windows with pg_basebackup.
pgBackRest[1] and pg_rman[2] also provide differential backup but neither one
supports Windows.
I found SQLBackupAndFTP when searching for a Windows solution. It advertises
with support for differential backups, but that's possible with SQL Server
only. [3]
I went with Barman to have PITR on that one Windows server I have to manage
and accept that it only allows full backups. My Linux Postgres clusters are
covered by rsync+ssh though.
