Tarak, No, there isn't a way to generate incremental archives.
If you really want to go to the trouble of creating full and incremental tape archives (eg, using tar), it might be better to do that directly without BackupPC. That way you have fully redundancy (ie, the tape method doesn't even depend on BackupPC).
