[Duplicity-talk] are periodic full backups necessary?

[Adam Megacz]

I'm trying to get a good understanding of the tradeoffs between
rdiff-backup and duplicity.  One of the nice things about rdiff-backup
is that the "most recent and backward diffs" means you never need to
do a "full backup".

What are the consequences of never doing a full backup with
duplicity's "original and forward diffs" format?  Will the time
required for an incremental backup increase in proportion to how many
incrementals there have been since the last full backup?  Or is the
backup time independent of how "far back" the most recent full backup
was?
