I wrote one a while ago called GNUGotMail. It does what you say except that
it creates delta database files which it sends as attachments. For example
it will create a Datebook.pdb file attachment, but instead of the file
containing all records it will only contain the dirty ones. It also has a
weird little sortinfo block that I use to determine which records have
changed positions or been deleted. A small Perl script is used to merge
these changes into an archive.
The inner-workings and the source code are on the web page. I used to use
this technique as my primary method of backing up, but I rarely do these
days.. though I do use it as my mailer as you can see now.
What it really needs is a dialog so you can pick which files to send. Or
maybe it also needs a way to receive attachments.
