This depends on your XferMethod.  The smb/tar methods do transfer 
everything for a full and rebuild the whole tree.  This is the only way 
to find deletions and the new locations of old files under renamed 
directories.  The rsync/rsyncd methods only transfer the differences 
since the last full (but need more RAM while doing it).  See the docs 
for IncrLevels if you want to base incrementals on previous incrementals.
