Sorry, I don't have anything implemented, but I've been wondering
about this too.  One way (not necessarily the best) might be an audit
trail if done in such a way that you could rebuild the entire database
from the audit trail.  Then you need only back up the audit entries
since the last backup.  However, you have to keep all backups, or once
in a while do a 'fresh start' backup where you take all audit
entries.  There's another thread starting about audit trails, you
might want to check there.

Actually, check out WAL archiving, that might be more appropriate.  I
don't know much about it though.
