Am I correctly assuming that FFS does not support incremental or differential backups with a clean seperation?

I know about the Versioning feature, but I would prefer seperate Folders like

Root
* - Full Backup Day 1
* - Incremental Backup Day 2
* - Incremental Backup Day 3

etc. in best case with detection of moved files.

old post, but still open and for administrative purpose ;)

What I can see is that it doesn't has incremental/differential backup's. From the FAQ: "use recycle bin" or the build-in file versioning scheme. But this will corrupt your data in case of some databases (file's have dependencies which needs to be extracted all together as a set, e.g. restore an Folder version instead of File version).

So I go for "required feature" for these situations, and use rdiff-backup in the meantime ;)

But must say: it's the only missing feature for me and where possible I use FFS!
