No, this makes them become incrementals of different levels. That's as close a simulation of differential backups as you'll currently get in BackupPC, and it's probably as close as you need. Just don't try something like $Conf {IncrLevels} = [1 .. 365]; $Conf {FullPeriod} = 364.97; You have been warned.
