I think some backup programs are able to store just the changes ("deltas") in a file when making incrementals. Am I right in thinking that BackupPC doesn't do this, and would instead store the whole of each changed file as separate entries in the pool?

Reason for asking is that I want to implement a backup strategy for databases, which is likely to involve multi-megabyte SQL files that differ only slightly from day to day. I'm trying to decide how best to handle them.
