This is in Linux. You can schedule your backup scripts to run automatically through "cron jobs". The cron job must be in the /etc/crontab file. Example crontab format:-MINUTE HOUR DAY of MONTH MONTH DAY of WEEK COMMANDRanges are;MINUTES: 0-59, HOUR: 0-23, DAY of MONTH: 1-31, MONTH: 1-12 or JAN-DEC, DAY of WEEK: 0-6 or SUN-SATNote: The COMMAND can be a single command, multiple commands separated by ";" and/or "&&" or a path to an executable shell script. In systemd you will not find "cronjobs", instead there are "timers". "timer"s are systemd unit files whose name ends in ".timer". Each ".timer" file controls a ".service" file. For an example, if a run.timer file is found, there is a corresponding run.service file. These "timers" can activate on a calendar event (Realtime Timers) (like cronjobs) and activate after a time span (Monotonic Timers).Default timer and service file location in arch linux: /usr/lib/systemd/system

Should full backups or incremental backups be permormed?

Both should be performed.Initially you would do a full backup, then after that you can usually get away with incrementals. But even better would be to do a full backup on some schedule, maybe monthly, as it generally takes longer to restore from incrementals with lots of file versions.
