I don't see the distinction you're making.
a incremental backup copies everything since the last incremental
a differential copies everything since the last full.
rsync is NOT a backup system, its just a incremental file copy
with the full/incremental/differential approach, a restore to a given
date would need to restore the last full, then the last differential,
then any incrementals since that differential, for instance, if you do
monthly full, weekly differential and daily incrementals. If you
don't use differentials, then you'd have to restore every incremental
since that last full, which in a monthly full, daily incremental
scenario could be as many as 30 incrementals.
