[Duplicity-talk] Restart from Last Full Backup

[Alan Gutierrez]

Is it possible to restart from the last full backup?

I am new to Duplicity. My reasoning is as follows.

Imagine someone used to be a real shutterbug and has a "photos" 
directory that is very large. In the last year, they've learned to just 
enjoy the moment they've been given instead of trying to capture it, and 
they pull out their camera only rarely.

They have a full backup that is very large and takes a long time to get 
up to S3. Now a quarterly full backup to add a handful of photos to that 
full backup discourages running that full backup.

Is it possible and sensible to instead delete the increments back to 
that initial very large backup and do a quarterly incremental backup 
that starts from the very large backup?
