Have you checked out Zelaine's backup spec?

http://pub.eigenbase.org/wiki/LucidDbBackupRestore

This is already available for testing in the 0.7.5 prerelease, and 
includes hot and incremental backup.  It should already be possible to 
use incremental for replication too.

If you kick off a backup immediately after creating a label, I think you 
already get pretty much what you're after, right?
