GNUtar has a special incremental mode where it stores a directory of each directory it is saving along with a flag indicating whether each file is present in the current archive. During a restore, it can then delete any files that aren't supposed to be there (i.e. were deleted between the full backup and the time the incremental was taken. It can be compiled for unix or DOS.
