Robocopy by default does incremental copy when it back's up. However i am asuming you mean histrorical backup.
There is no built in functionality in robocopy to do this you would need to use a 3rd party product that functions in a simular way but keeps a history such as Backup Assist.
Alternativly... Its not pretty of very efficent... but you could create a robocopy job for each day/week that you want to backup and have a diff destination folder for each.
i.e.
Backup>
          >Monday
          >Tues
          >etc..
          >Week 1
          > etc.

Then you could schedual the backups for each date. However you would require a large amount of disk space as each one would be a full copy of the data.
