Incremental times/sizes will vary depending on changes made since a prior backup. Backup speeds to an external drive will vary depending on the hardware used.
I have a large enough primary drive that has a partition exclusively for backup images. The first Friday of each month I create a full image and then each Friday thereafter(or more frequently depending on changes) I create an incremental image. For safe keeping, I copy the most recent image to an external drive that is dedicated to just images. I keep only the prior month and the current month images on the internal drive partition. I keep many months on the external, mainly because I have to room to do so.
Others will have there own method of saving images.
