Silverkeeper (http://www.silverkeeper.com/) is LaCie's tool, which probably means it works only with LaCie drives. But it does do incremental/change backups on HFS+, and runs quickly for me nightly. I've had it backing up for a while now, and even once booted off the firewire drive accidentally. Worked perfectly. You can backup, restore, compare, and sync multiple sets of files. - Dan
