I invite you to inform yourself about star and to test it yourself.
Star's backups are completely based on POSIX standard archive formats. If you
don't have star (which is not very probable as star is OpenSource), you may
extract the incremental dumps from star using any standard POSIX compliant
archiver. You just lose the information and ability to do incremental restores.
