Hi,

I am backupping a 50GB worth of data on a remote server through a 2 Mbits line. The full backup takes me roughly 4 days, an incremental backup about 15 minutes. I have my settings set to:

/usr/bin/duplicity --name backup1 --encrypt-key masked--sign-key masked--verbosity 6 --full-if-older-than 1M --asynchronous-upload --ssh-askpass  /home scp://login@xxxxxxxxxxxx/backup/

now my big concern is that while a full-backup is triggered after one month, my incrementals would not be uploaded during the 4 days it takes to upload the full backup. If I simply start another process, another full-backup would be triggered. 
I am looking for a best practise to prevent my backups having a 4 day "hole" every month.

Thank you  for your help
