I very much like this idea.  I have pretty much enough storage for two 
full backups plus incrementals, and that means any changes have to be 
put off until the beginning of the backup cycle.

If I could simply say, "Keep two full backups", it wouldn't matter.

It wouldn't work at all for my purposes if it weren't also tied to 
volume retention.  Perhaps the volume can be configured to expire as 
soon as all full backups on it expire.
