Just to be weird can you do a "remove-all-but-n-full 0” ? Then do a normal backup?

My backup scheme consists of creating a full backup at the beginning of

the beginning of each month I need to erase everything before starting
the new full backup. So I need something like:
IF the full backup is older than one month THEN
- remove all backups
- start a new full backup.
ELSE
- do an incremental backup
I know that this schema is sub-optimal, and that there exists a window
where I can lose everything, but I can live with that.
indeed,so maybe find more space or a second/local location?Is there any way to do this with duplicity?
no. closest would be `backup --full-if-older-than <time>` followed by a `remove-all-but-n-full <n>` but that'd would lead to _two_ backup chains on the remote, which you say is not an option.
