Contrary to popular belief, you really want to have regular full
backups as part of your plan to reduce data transferred over your wan.
An incremental backup will transfer changed data from the previous
full or incremental of a lower level. With backuppc 2.1.2 which is the
version from debian stable, it will transfer all changed data from the
last full backup.
