The monolithic database format is also an issue for backup programs that

Erroneous assumption.
I think you missed my point, even though you quoted it.
QRecall, by its own description, doesn't work at a file level.
No, it works on a subfile level, ie parts of files. If it worked only on
the file level, then we would have the problems you describe.
The end all with Qrecall is that only The Changes made to a file will be
backed up, instead of the whole file. So, if you back up every hour,
only the changes made to the powermail DB during that hour will have to
be backed up as the rest have already been backed up once.
I'm sure other backup software does this as well. If not, they should.
