Gotcha.  I don't actually *need* incrementals, it's just how the
schedule that all the clients are using is defined.

I was hoping that if it didn't support the incremental that it would be
upgraded to a "9" rather like the index save is.  But instead I guess
it's doing another full?  

I've been looking through the docs for this...  does anyone know where
this might be mentioned?

I'll try a "9" instead and see how it goes.  Thanks.
