there are other backup schemes that do the "always make a full" thing,

I'd rather want BackupPC to have it :)
You should be able to tell backuppc to make fulls as often as
you want. The only downside with rsync is the extra time
it takes to do the full block checksum compare on existing
files.
Is it really the only downside of full backups?
Doesn't a full backup mean that *everything* will be transferred again?
In case of backup of several 50 GB servers over slow internet, that
would be a never-ending daily disaster :)
Does the full rsync backup in BackupPC transfer only changes (compared
to the last full backup), or maybe it transfers everything?
It's not clear from the documentation (which states: "A full backup is a
complete backup of a share.").
