[Aide] aide db as the basis for backups?

Hi all.

aide performs some filesystem related tasks in an impressive
way (speed, consistency). Looking at the db files it generates,
it becomes obvious that if you have two versions of a db file
from different dates, you have a solid start for an incremental
backup program. I don't want to reinvent the wheel here, so let me ask:
What projects tried such an approach before (using aide)?

Greetings
Sven
