I don't see the distinction you're making.
a incremental backup copies everything since the last incremental a differential copies everything since the last full.
I guess that makes sense, but in backup systems based on rsync and hard links (such as rsnapshot), *every* backup on the backup volume is a "full" backup, so incremental and differential are the same thing.
rsync is NOT a backup system, its just a incremental file copy
..which can be used as a component of a backup system, such as rsnapshot or backuppc.
