I need to backup a Windows Server 2008 R2 every day. The backup should contain some folders (With subfolders) on an internal HDD and the system state. 

WBADMIN START BACKUP -backupTarget:b: -include:d:\Company,d:\Profiles,d:\Users -systemState -vssFull -quiet

It works, but its only an incremental backup. How can I force wbadmin to create a full-backup?

    Ok in which case this is how windows backup works. The difference is unlike traditional incremental backups where a corrupt backup might mean you could not restore, Windows backup doesn't have that problem. – Drifter104 Jul 30 '15 at 09:46
  • And what about restoring? For example I need to restore a backup from 2 weeks ago so I have to restore every backup until the backup I need to restore. Because an incremental backup only contains changed files. – TrustedCreeper Jul 30 '15 at 13:51
  • No when you restore you just pick the date and issue one command to restore to that date. There is a catalog of what changed when – Drifter104 Jul 30 '15 at 14:14
