Does an incrimental backup go by what has changed only on the drive or does it backup from a comparison of the backup aldready made and what changed since that backup?

The reason i'm asking is if i have two different drives that i backup with incrimental backups i want to make sure it is actually backing up everything on both drives. I wanted to just switch the backup drives every night or so and i want to know that it actually is backing it up properly.
 
Yes, incremental backup only backs up files that have changed from previous incremental OR full backups.
