Note, instead of backup software you might consider a versioning and configuration tool. SourceSafe is for free with Visual C++ pro but you also may use a free tool like cvs or reflection. Contrary to backup systems, versioning tools generally store deltas. They automatically create a full file version if the deltas were too many or need more space than the original file.

RCS is mainly develop for UNIX system and i want to make program for Window's system. So please tell me any method or code to take incremental backup on Window's.

I have seen a few Windows implementations of versioning systems based on pure RCS. I will make some investigations for free RCS libraries for Windows.

There is enough software - also for free - which does what you want.
Why not using them?
