[Duplicity-talk] Merge daily backups?

[Greg Bell]

Hi Duplicity,

My use-case is similar to this thread: 
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/duplicity-talk/2016-06/msg00020.html

But my backups are over the internet to a remote host.  So my full 
backup will take weeks.

And I want to do daily incrementals.

According to the above thread, that'd be a bad idea.  Ghozlane 
recommended the remove-older-than and remove-all-inc-of-but-n-full 
options.

Does the remove-all-inc-of-but-n-full merge the incrementals into one?

Ideally I'd like to have my daily backups result in just a few 
incremental sets (varying between 1 and n depending on how often I 
merge).  The idea of thousands of incremental sets, reliant on each 
other for the backup's integrity, is scary.

Am I off in the weeds here?

Greg
