The previous full run is used as the comparison unless you have 
configured incremental levels.   But, why not just do more frequent full 
runs to keep the base more current?  Fulls take longer in elapsed time 
because the remote files are all read for comparison, but they don't use 
a lot more bandwidth than incrementals.
