Hi,
I guess that if the incremental depends on one full and the new full backup is
made you'll end up with two full backups and 1 incremental depending on the
oldest full backup. But! BackupPC is very good at deduplicating data on disk,
so full backups and incremental backups do not differ in the amount of space
that is used on disk. The main difference between a full and an incremental
backup is that a full backup will compare all data on the client with the data
on the backup server and incremental wil only look for changes on the client.
We've found it is probably only necessary to limit the number of backups when
you are dealing with large (binary) blobs that change every day. For example
database dumps.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Micha Kersloot
