Increments in pgbackrest are done on file level which is not really efficient. We have done parallelism, compression and page-level increments (9.3+) in barman fork [1], but unfortunately guys from 2ndquadrant-it don’t hurry to work on it.

And actually it would be much better to do a good backup and recovery manager part of the core postgres.
