I did a thought experiment with made up numbers. I just woke up so forgive me if my numbers don’t add up. At least they can serve as ballpark numbers. Let’s say a full backup takes 3 hours and an incremental one 3 minutes. Let’s say I want at most 3 hours of lag in my backups. That would mean 3 hours every 3 hours. That is about 720 hours per month for a full backup or 720 minutes (12 hours) for incremental backups. Let’s say we Still do a full one once a day then that is still 102 hours per month in total. Even if you do 1 incremental per hour you’d end up at 36 hours a month. If 3 minutes were true for the every 3 hour scenario, the every 1 hour scenario would also mean shorter backups so maybe 1 minute, which adds up to 12 hours. All this to say that it might be more efficient.
