The immediately apparent problem with this is that in order to ever
perform a full restore, you will need to keep all of your incremental
backups forever. If you have to restore a machine after six months of
this, you'll have to restore over 180 jobs.
The other problem is that at some point the size of
(backup + (n * incremental)) will exceed the size of
(2 * backup)
Differentials help a lot, but sooner or later you must do a new full
backup, even if only to avoid the risk of losing data due to a bad
incremental.
