Aah! Now I understand. I think. :)

Just to make sure... If BackupPC is configured to create a full backup 
on Sunday and an incremental backup on every day but Sunday and I would 
add $lot of static data on Monday, then until the next Sunday $lot of 
static data will be copied daily. Only after the next Sunday the static 
data will no longer be copied? Right?
