Are you sure you want the last 'full' instead of the most current
backup?   BackupPC_tarCreate will merge the supporting full with more
current incrementals to give what looks like a current full that
should be very accurate on rsync-based backups (tar/smb don't track
deletes in incrementals and can miss new files that have old
timestamps or the new locations of files under a renamed directory).

Not sure what you need to do to avoid contention on that kind of change.
