In my experense incremental will pull in every job related to that client.
I actually use this as a failsafe. I have a VirtualFull job that I set to an Archive job. When I have had media failures, or other (cough) self induced wounds, I set the archive job back to backup and run a new virtual full. I have also used this behavior to migrate systems from traditional backup to always incremental. I think that’s just how it works currently. I think there is probably a way to have two job definitions for a single host and keep them separate. I do have a few hosts that I have mulitple jobs defined for, that appears to work.
