One way we've improved this is to make incrementals reference the previous
incremental. As long as your filesystem timestamps are accurate (system
dates are synced, file modification times are updated on write), this works
well.
$Conf{IncrLevels} = [ '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7' ];
We use seven on the off chance that someone runs a manual one that week.
