I wouldn't do that - rsync fulls take longer in wall clock time because they 
read all the files, but they don't take a lot more bandwidth and don't hurt you 
that much on remote connections which are slow anyway.  You need regular fulls 
with rsync to rebuild the trees used for comparisons.  Just make sure the days 
the fulls run are skewed so you have time for them to complete. You can do that 
by forcing a manual run to set the time.
