You can create a full backup, and then several incrementals:

- full
  - inc
  - inc

This is your primary, and only, backup chain. Now create another full backup 
and a few incrementals, to get:

- full
  - inc
  - inc
- full2
  - inc2
  - inc2

Since the full2 chain is the latest, this is the primary. The older one(s) are 
secondary.
