Any drawback doing this like rsnapshot ?
What happens if I delete the "full" backup ?
With rsnapshot nothing happens, by using hardlinks, the only way to
loose backus (and data)
is to delete all hardlinks pointing to a file, so I have to delete the
whole backup pool

What about backuppc ? a new full is made if the previous full is lost
or the first "useful" backup is promoted to full ?

I'm asking this because based on the answer I can try to get the best
config for my environment. If BPC is smart enough
to work even without the original full, I can use a full period very
very high (like 1 year)
