Incremental records changes since the last backup, differential records changes since the last *full* backup. Differential is probably your best bet if your full backups are intermittent.
Do think about online backup, it removes the risks of fire and theft and also provides redundancy - ie more than one backup copy. Fuller info on backup methods and risks
