Scott,

If there is no previous backup, NCU won't give you any choice, but a total
backup. And given the various problems that have been reported over the year
with incremental backups, I think you should always do a full backup.

Now, did you ever have NCU working under your current setup or not? If you
don't remember any success under XP Pro, then we'll have to troubleshout
your problem to stee what's wron.n....

-Laurent.
