Only if the directory involved demands incremental dumps. On my
previous workstation I had an 8gig partition that was used mostly
for holding disk and cdrom burner workspace, but I had one directory
there I needed to backup. It was a perl database used by the machine's
website and doing a full-backup of the whole directory was needed,
anyway.
