Have you considered only backing up the log files then? They are your
incrementals...

Subject: Smaller backup files: Time division, Since or Incremental?

One thing that complicates my gnucash life is the size and number of
backup files.
* It'd be nice, since most of the data is very historical, if it the
data was divided by time into multiple files, more finely in rear
time. Even if old files occasionally get updated by new work, they
would mostly be static.
* Another traditional way to keep backup sizes down is the Since-the
last-full and the Incremental since the last incremental.
* Since files are in xml, if they are line divided by transaction or
entry, text tools like good old sccs can discern differences.
