backup berkeley db (java edition)

Question

At the moment I am backing up my Berkley DB databases by taking hard copies of the log/db files periodically. The problem with this approach is that I run out of disk space quite quickly. Is there a way of creating incremental backups, analogous to a transaction log in a relational database?

What I want is only one backup that can never be corrupted (i.e. no Environment Failures on startup).

Any ideas? Thanks.

Incremental backups are described in the javadoc for the DbBackup utility: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17277_02/html/java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbBackup.html
