What?  CCC won't do incremental backups?
It sure does, unless I misunderstand what you mean.
I have it set to update my backup on an external drive weekly-- a  
fully bootable duplicate system.
Then I have it update a user backup on a disk image on my internal  
hard drive twice a week.

I have it set to archive the files that change-- it puts them in a  
date-stamp-named folder. But those I have to monitor that they don't  
build up and deplete the free space, so I'm about to cancel that on  
the full-system backup because there are so many meaningless (to me)  
system files mounting up. :-[

The user interface isn't perhaps the most polished and  
straightforward, but then backing is not simple unless you want what  
they give you out of the can! :-)

Hope this helps.
