I am also now thinking the word "incremental" is wrong because it
implies something that happens in parts, like "backup everything that
changed from last night until now" which not how this feature works.
I am thinking "Continuous Archiving" is the proper wording, and it
avoids the "backup" word.
Updated patch attached.
