Answer 1

Take a look at the documentation, it's meant to appear that way:

BackupPC "fills-in" incremental backups when browsing or restoring, based on the levels of each backup, giving every backup a "full" appearance. This makes browsing and restoring backups much easier: you can restore from any one backup independent of whether it was an incremental or full.

An unrelated note: Please try to write correct English on web forums. It's very hard for non-native speakers who have only learned "the Queen's English" to understand what you're saying otherwise.
