It is quite easily accomplished. How long do you want to store the minute data for? 1 day, 1 month, 1 year? We do this for a 5 minute interval for 1 year, and have modified cfgmaker to accomplish it. If you use cfgmaker, just add another RRA for 1 minute intervals and define the number of samples you'd like (1 day would be 1,440 samples). Our rrd files grew from about 94k to just over 3mb for 5 minute sample expansion. I would venture a guess that 1 years' worth of 1 minute samples would be about 15mb per rrd.
