The incremental is based off the last full in the same policy.  If you
created a new policy separate from the full, then the first backup will
consist of everything.

Each policy should have all the schedules in it - i.e. Full and
Incremental in the same policy.  

If you rename a policy, the same thing happens - you trigger a full
backup.
