You could use diff and the previous dump to generate a incremental
dump. I very much suggest against this.

If you don't spend the time to really understand what is going on then
you are going to end up hosed without a good backup to revert to. I
suggest that if don't know how to sanitize input then you are over
your head. People get paid a lot of money to to be DBA's, and good
chunk of that is understanding disaster mitigation/recovery.

K.I.S.S.: words to live by.
