I guess you mean incremental forever? One of the commercial backup packages we use here does that. Basically you do a one-time full backup. All future backups are then incrementals. Once a month, all the incrementals are "rolled up" on the server side in to a new "Full" backup and checksumed against the backup inventory of the final incremental in the rollup. That rollup then becomes the new full backup on which further incrementals are based. It would be a really nice feature to have - especially where there is limited bandwidth between BackupPC and your boxes to be backed up.
