One thing I've always wondered about this -- how does this work? You
need to back up all of the files at least once. Does this just save you
from, down the line, needing to restore from hundreds of incrementals? I
guess this could be irritating (and impossible depending on your
retention schedule), but it can't possible save one from EVER doing a
full backup as there are some files that start out on the system that
will never change.
