Correct.

So restores from a "Full/Diff" combo takes all fulls and all incrementals.
A restore from a "Diff/Cumulative" method takes the Full and the *latest*
incremental but not any other earlier incrementals.

A differential incremental is changes with respect to the previous
incremental, no?

A Cumulative incremental is changes with respect to the previous FULL.
