PostgreSQL does not support incremental backups.  As even a 200mb
database in Postgres can be backed up in < 15 minutes, without shutting
down the database, there has not been any reason to implement
incremental backups.

Please describe what you are trying to accomplish, and maybe we can
reccommend a backup strategy which will fulfill your needs.
