Really looking forward to iCloud backups, but my question is, is it an incremental or full backup?

Cant find anything that says for sure either way. Just would like to know if every day the backup is full (i.e. 500mb) or just what changes (i.e. 20 mb of new app data and 15 new pictures for a total of, say, 50 mb).

Blimey. I'm going to need to do a first time sync at my old mans. I only get 38kb/s on my connection.

Must be incremental. My first iPhone backup to iCloud took 30min, then each subsequent backup takes a couple minutes. Same with iPad. First time was an hour, second time 3 minutes.
