Incremental Manual Backup/Copy of Outlook Expess Messages Folder

I normally do a manual backup of the OE messages folder, by simply copying
the Outlook Express Folder (messages folder) in C:\Documents & Settings\My
Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{
alpha-mumeric}\Microsoft\Outlook Express, but it's a big, big folder, so
takes quite some time to copy.

To save time, could I simply copy the dbx files in the OE messages folder
that have changed since the previous backup, to the previous backup copy of
the OE messages folder, that is effectively giving me an incremental backup?
