I wish to have Incremental Backup support for destinations like S3, Backblaze etc. Is there any way, I can get it? Or any Feature Request link?

  Hi @Jafar Muhammed Right the only method you can use for incremental backups is rsync and as far as I know there isn't a feature request to have this supported by Amazon S3 but you're more than welcome to open a new feature request using the link in my signature. Once you've opened it please share the link here so others may vote on it as well. Thanks!

  Hi, I am also interested in an incremental backup solution and I have already voted for this feature not change or alter the state of your existing non-incremental backup destinations. You can only use the Rsync transport with incremental backups." Thanks.

  The following notice in the WHM backup interface seems to indicate that I must first configure a non-incremental backup and then an incremental backup to do this: " When you select incremental backups, the system will not change or alter the state of your existing non-incremental backup destinations. You can only use the Rsync transport with incremental backups."

  
  That notice is for existing backups only, it does not imply that you can have both configured. WHM's automated backup configuration functions independently of any other 3rd party solutions you may have implemented. So if you're configuring a backup through WHM's backup configuration and one through backblaze as long as the 3rd party plugin does not depend on cPanel's backup configuration there should be no conflict.
