question about running backups

Im currently running one full backup of a share drive every weekend and differential backups the rest of the days. Does anyone see why I cant just run one full backup only once and then run differentials for the rest of time?

What is the underlying OS and what backup software?  Since Server 2008 MS has offered a much better solution which maintains a complete backup history on any number of target media so as long as you have made scheduled test restores you always have an unbroken chain back to the initial backup on as many target USB/ESATA/iSCSI drives are you want.
