Now this would be quite the feature - and it fits perfecty with the idea of smart pooling that BackupPC has. The effects are rather interesting: - Different incremental levels won't be needed to preserve bandwidth - Full backups will indirectly use earlier incrementals as reference Definite whishlist item. /johan |
