I believe you could do something like you propose with the current BackupPC by setting the "IncrPeriod' to 0.04 (1/24 of a day). You'd have to make some interesting settings for "FillCycle" and "FullKeepCnt" to make it keep a usable schedule, but you could then have 'hourly' incrementals.

As Les Mikesell just pointed out, the downside would be that for large instances, you'd be doing a lot of fairly expensive (compute time) operations every hour to scan the file system for changes.

I believe that FS snapshots are faster, and more efficient than BackupPC could ever be for this.

Please develop, don't drop me dry, why is that?
Why adding a kinda-Xtiple-fugitive-daily-snapshots of only touched files
is out of the BPC's scope ? On the other hand, I see this as the missing
complement to get a professional ubiquitous backup system.
