The difference I'm seeing here is that alldidasmc is doing an FTP push backup while sphardy is doing a pull. In the backend, each type of FTP backup is handled by a different utility. The reason we changed the full backup frequency to "every time" is because incrementals didn't seem to work with the FTP server(s) we tried, so perhaps this is FTP server dependent. Which FTP server are you using as your backup destination?
A quick look at the changes in the backend between 4.2.15 and 4.2.17 suggest that it was only a UI change, and that the backend itself hasn't changed, so if 4.2.15 could push incrementals to an FTP server, 4.2.17 should also be doing it despite what the full backup frequency option says.
