Dear backuppc-users-list,

I use backuppc to backup some of my customers servers and dirvish to backup 
some others. The thing that I really like about dirvish (apart from it's easy 
configuration), is that it creates only one initial snapshot and than unlimited 
incremental backups based on hard-links. That means that there is never a 
second full backup after the initial one, ever! This dramatically decreases the 
amount of data needed to be transferred over the network over the time. This is 
especially essential if I need to backup a server over a slow 
DSL-internet-connection where a full-backup takes days....

Because I really like the benefits from backuppc (compression, re-using backups 
of multiple occuring single files over different hosts, great web-interface...) 
I ask myself how I can get backuppc to mimic this behavior from dirvish. Is it 
enough to screw up "FullPeriod" and "FullAgeMax" to let's say 9999999?
Since I'm not fine with this idea which seems to conflict with the way backuppc 
operates, I ask for assistance.

Im sorry if I was not able to make my intension perfectly clear, but please 
feel free to ask a more specific question.

Thank you in advance!

Andreas Piening
