    Yes, this will work.

    The only recommendation that we make is to ensure you do base backups as often as you can. The more incrementals you have, the more likely that corruption will 'break' the chain (i.e. one bad incremental will mean you can only restore that set from the last 'good' incremental and earlier).

    Hope that helps.
