Before you start down this path, be sure you understand that storing 
multiple fulls doesn't take up a lot more space than incrementals since 
all identical copies of a file are pooled.  Also, with the tar and smb 
methods you can miss files in incrementals if they are copied in ways 
that preserve old timestamps.
