It's not really 'full' backups in the traditional sense when you use rsync
as the transport mechanism.

the 'incremental levels' are a one-option configuration setting, and there's
an example provided in the config file.

nope. you only set what you need changing in the per-host config file.

BackupPC isn't appropriate for all backup situations; but it works pretty
darned well. Try it. Read through config.pl and it will all make much more
sense.
