Proposed: Changes to Synchronization and backup programs#Chunk-based increments
Added: Column "Increment Basis" to differentiate between full+incremental design and tools that base new increments off all prior data
Added: Column "Historical archives can be removed" to differentiate between tools that are designed so prior archives can be removed easily or not
Also moved GUI frontends of CLI tools to the "other interfaces" column
