Be sure you understand how rsync incrementals actually work before you
do that. The comparison is always done against the most recent full
backup, so as that copy ages you will repeated pull a growing set of
all files that have changed since then for every incremental run.
An rsync full backup, on the other hand, takes more real and CPU time
at each end because it compares all files regardless of the timestamps,
but it takes very little more bandwidth - and will likely result in
less bandwidth being used for the next run.
