A full export is the entire database (all users, objects, etc.). "complete" is one of three options to the inc(remental)type.

Incremental exports start with a baseline (using the complete option) and subsequent exports only export changed objects. Incremental exports can be applied to full or user level (table specific also I assume) exports.

Hope this helps.
