Great, also I'm not sure if anyone answered your question about the
differences between Full, Incremental, Differential.  This is covered pretty
well in the manual.  I know 640+ pages can be pretty intimidating but it has
a pretty good table of contents and lots of detail.

I would pay particular attention to the section on the job resource on pages
121 to 123.  These describe the different values for the level.  One thing
I've noticed with the manual is it is very long on detail and short on
summary information (pun intended :-).  The detail is really good for
figuring out the subtleties but unless you have the high level view its easy
to get lost in the detail.

For example a paragraph like the following at the beginning of the level
description would probably help new users.

Full - Backs up all files selected by the FileSet.
Incremental - Backs up all files modified since the last successful Full,
Incremental, or Differential.
Differential - Backs up all files modified since the last successful Full.

Then another short paragraph saying why you would choose one over the other.

Thanks. That worked.
Of the near 3 Million files only 256,000 have changed. That sounds about
right.
