    Incremental will back everything up the first time and then only back up files that changed. If you want to perform block-level backups so only changes within larger files are backed up rather than the entire file each time, then schedule block-level to run every day and Incremental to run every 30 days.

    We don't use use the term Full backup any longer since only that very first backup is actually a full one.
