Though I would note that the last sentence possibly needs clarification. As with regular incrementals, you can build up several over time allowing the oldest full backup to cover many previous periods of time (in combination with the appropriate sequential series of "decremantals"). Hopefully that clarification doesn't change anything much. > If my understanding of what you are proposing is correct, then yes, I think > it > is possible.

Of course. I guess I might write up a proposal and if it's deemed too much work, too little benefit or some combination of those, it will presumably be either long-fingered or refused for those reasons.
