Your incremental backups are a house of cards, and you don't know it.
Incrementals are seductive — small, fast, cheap. But every incremental depends on the full backup and every link before it. One corrupted chunk early in that chain and EVERY restore point after it is unrecoverable. People run incrementals for six months without ever taking a fresh full, then discover the base is rotted and the entire chain is worthless. Forever-incremental is forever-fragile. Take periodic synthetic fulls and verify the chain, or you're trusting your survival to an unbroken streak that breaks silently. Change my mind.
