For the record: My full backups of the file systems on the 5G partitions using k3B has the advantage that they are not TAR'd. I can mount the DVD and it is just another file system. I can read or copy any file without having to any special program. The idea of doing incremental to CDs, or incremental of a number of the 5G's to a DVD with the same kind of access is too attractive.
Running FIND to get a list by whatever criteria, date of change is a good enough one, but FIND allows for other criteria as well, remember, then generating symlinks in a dummy directory and pointing K3B at that directory is ..... well it works, but it takes a bit of hacking to get sensible pathnames under the dummy directory, and k3b isn't the most reliable tool for following symlinks. Sometimes that has an unexpected consequence.
For example: in my ~/Document there is a symlink to ~/Downloads I would rather that was not followed.
