There is a rather convoluted solution here, including some scripts, that could probably be adapted to rsync:

Have you experimented with using rsync? It is native to the mac and can be run through applescript I think. From what I recall, rsync will back up only the changes to the file although I can not find that explicitly stated one way or the other at the moment.

Good idea, rsync works at the block level, not the file level. (I Googled "rsync block level" and got that quickly confirmed.)

So I need an AppleScript that shuts down Entourage, runs rsync, and then restarts Entourage.

I bet the tough part will be figuring out when rsync completes.
