Description of my issue:
It's not really an issue.
I just noticed a new backup type on which I haven't found any documentation: Full site, incremental files.

What is the difference with "Files only, incremental"? When is it advised to use it?

The difference between the two backups is that "Full site, incremental files" would include a full database backup (there is no such thing as an incremental database backup).

For most sites, the time savings in using an incremental backup does not justify the increased difficulty of the restore process. You should just spend the extra couple of minutes in the backup phase and do a full site backup. For a very large site, or a site that is backed up very frequently, it depends on your process planning whether or not it makes sense to back up the database with the incremental backup.
