If I have a source/dest folder with a week's worth of backups in it labelled
Mon_backup.bak, Tue_backup.bak etc., the next backup to be made on (say)
Weds will technically be the diff between the Tues copy on the BackupPC
server and the Weds copy on the remote server.

It would be great if BackupPC had some way of 'knowing' that a folder
contained files of a cyclic nature like this and could do the relevant
sync/diff backup by looking at "yesterday's" file??

Just wondered!?
