Differential/Incremental backups from Rescue Media
When I use the rescue media I always run a full backup. But I'm wondering how it works to do incremental or differential backups, especially if the time between running backups is long. Does anyone do such backups from the rescue media?

Ditto to Rob, I have tended to only do full backups from the rescue media as they are one-off actions rather than a regular activity.

I have just recently setup a number of offline backups with recovery media as incremental scheme. My plan is to run an update backup on these on a monthly basis. These backups are for machines that generally do not see huge increases in data change thus I believe are good candidates for this approach.
Unfortunately I have not run the slated incremental backups on these yet but I feel confident they will work just fine. I do think you need to be on top of a solid schedule for keeping up with this though.
