Is incremental ufsdump to disk possible?

All,
I've been able to ufsdump a file system to a large disk as a full backup,
but so far have been unsuccessful with incremental backups.
Is this possible with ufsdump?

 The following command will work with a 0 level ufsdump but not for
 a level 5 dump (the directory /ubk/var/5/20040823 already exists).

     ufsdump 5uf - /var | (cd /ubk/var/5/20040823 ; ufsrestore rf - )

Result is:
----------------
  DUMP: Date of this level 5 dump: Mon Aug 23 21:56:16 2004
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: Sun Aug 22 06:42:36 2004
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s4 (mozart:/var) to standard output.
  DUMP: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: Writing 32 Kilobyte records
  DUMP: Estimated 18254 blocks (8.91MB).
  DUMP: Dumping (Pass III) [directories]
  DUMP: Dumping (Pass IV) [regular files]
open: No such file or directory
cannot open symbol table file ./restoresymtable
  DUMP: 18238 blocks (8.91MB) on 1 volume at 6157 KB/sec
  DUMP: DUMP IS DONE
-------------------
Thanks in advance.
