The only thing I can think of, is putting the files on a separate
filesystem. Then do a image based backup, as opposed to a file based
backup.
I know Acronis can backup the filesystem and do a fairly quick
incremental/differential. That would keep it down to specific changes
and keep the sparse file intact as a sparse file.
