Exactly. I think a simple, flexible and robust method for file based incremental backup is all we need. I am confident it could be done for 9.5. I would like to quote every single word Simon said. Block level incremental backup (with Robert's proposal) is definitely the ultimate goal for effective and efficient physical backups. I see file level incremental backup as a very good "compromise", a sort of intermediate release which could nonetheless produce a lot of benefits to our user base, for years to come too.
