Backuppc's pooling scheme won't take additional space for unchanged
files in additional full runs so usually you can just pick a reasonable
full interval (like a week) and control how long the oldest will be
retained with Conf{FullKeepCnt}. If you want to archive some runs
forever, look at using the archive host feature to copy to tapes or dvds.
