any incremental backup software will note when the files were last backed up and skip those that have not changed since the last backup
as to the deleted record issue, if deletions are allowed, the process of deleting a record which is (or possibly is) associated with an external file (picture or otherwise) should locate and delete the external file(s) when the record is deleted. referencing back to the backup, once the file has been backed up, it should not be an issue, if it is not deleted with it's parent record, as it should be skipped during any subsequent incremental backup.
