Let me see if I fully understand this concept.

Lets say we have 3 objects A, B, and C.

Full                    *Inc                    *Inc
Day 1   Same/Changed   Day 2    Same/Changed   Day 3
-----   ------------   -----    ------------   -----
A       Same                    Same
B       Changed         B       Same            B
C       Same                    Changed         C

So, If on Day 1 we do a full save, and the next day only object B is
changed, then only object B gets backuped up.  On the Next day, only
object C gets changed however since we are doing *INC backups, objects B
and C get saved.  

Thats the way I see it.  Is that correct?
