6, i think I will put 14 cause I do 2 incr per day... but do I have to 
put 14 to fill the incr per full's, or what?!

I think I didn't explain correctly...
there is the 111 incr that was deleted right? the files of that incr 
were deleted also?
the question is this, if a file is modified after the 110 full, is kept 
in 111 incr, but 111 incr is no more, so where that file go?!
