    Status: Open => Answered

Kenneth Loafman proposed the following answer:
You probably need to increase ulimit's num_files to 32768 or so if you
are going to run a 31 day incremental chain.  It's essentially 4 file
handles per incremental file present for the backup.  If you trust your
storage that is.  My experience is that you really should limit
incremental chains to shortest possible.  I do a full every Sunday and
incrementals for the rest.  I don't mess with monthly or yearly, and
just keep six weeks of backups.
