What is beneficial about doing full backups

As far as I understand it, it is all to do with how the incrementals
are added on to the last full so if you have a full back up and then
say 3 incrementals, the server only has to parse 3 incrementals on
top of the last full. If you have a full and then loads of
incrementals, each incremental has to be parsed for any changes.
As you can imagine, this would hammer the server quite a bit if you
had full backups that were weeks/months old.
I can't remember off hand but I followed an example somewhere where
they gave the tower of hanoi (I think?) example of how to keep
fulls.
Someone will probably add to this.
