Re: [Question #236750]: practical limit on the number of incrementals?

 

Question #236750 on Duplicity changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/236750

    Status: Open => Answered

Kenneth Loafman proposed the following answer:
The practical limit is risk.  You can increase the number of file
descriptors to handle long chains, but you'll have increasing overhead on
each link of the chain.  Plus, any error in storage and the chain will
break.
