It is an other possibility that can be very nice, long jobs has the tendency to be difficult to manage (anything can happen during this 6 days), if you can have 7 parts that you backup individually, you would reduce the total data to something like 1/7 * total + 6/7 * incr_size. If the incremental size is about 10% of the total, it becomes very interesting.
