For differential, if you have 100....
With Incremental.
For example, if you have a 100MB database, and make 5MB of changes, each differential backup will be at least 5MB.
Remember that a differential is not the same as an incremental.

Another quick way of doing.
If you don't set of the database becomes greater than the first LSN of the differential backup.
All transactions intact so that you can apply the differential backup later.

I solved this problem by making all backups to disk then duplicating the backups I wanted to tape, sometimes several different tape pools (off-site, on-site long term storage, etc) .
