Rob's right.  Running with IncrLevels = 1 means that every incremental will 
download every file with a modification time newer than the last Full.  Using 6 
incrementals with levels 1, 2, ... etc, will just mean that files must differ 
from the last good incremental to be downloaded.  That is still as reliable as 
rsync.  I use this setup for all servers, including locals backups.
