Hi Patrick, nice to hear that you got it running! And thank you for sharing your knowledge!
For your the new question i think "virtual full" is the solution you are searching for. Have look into the documentation. With that option you can do an virtual full backup based on the data on your backup storage without getting the data from the client again.
