How fast is it?  On a ca. 6 GB partition, can I expect an incremental
backup to an external USB 2.0 device to be done in less than a minute,
if not much data has changed?  What are your experiences?

Currently, I use STAR as an incremental backup tool and - contrary to
GNU TAR - it does it's job very well, and it is extremely fast.  Often
an incremental backup of 6 GB takes only a couple of seconds to an
external USB memory key.
