In Linux, is there any open source incremental/ differential backup program that can backup windows partitions?
 


pv method

You could use pv (man page) utility like so:

Code:
sudo sh -c 'pv < /dev/sda > /destination'

Of course you could become root first:

sudo -i

And then just do the backup:

Code:
pv < /dev/sda > /BackupDestination

And then when needed do the restore:

Code:
pv < /BackupDestination > /dev/sda

pv works similar to the dd command but is a little faster and it shows the progress
 
thank you!
does "pv " support differential/ incremental backup?
I found that "rsync" support differential, does it work with windows partitions?
 
There's also 'luckyBackup' which is a GUI front-end for rsync and can be set to use cronjobs to schedule backups.
