The result consists of a few files and directories. The actual backup is done 
into a .VHD file (i.e., the same file Microsoft uses for virtual machines). It 
is indeed a monolithic blob.

Based on that, I'm assuming that the various backups are simply snapshots of 
this virtual hard disk.

You are right about the "no incrementals".
