Some files, like virtual machine images, are very large and take a really long time (many hours) to back up incrementally when the file has changed since the last backup.

Would it be possible to somehow flag certain files as "full backup only" instead of having duplicity try to wedge in the changes to an incremental backup?

The rest of the backup would still be incremental, but flagged files would just get a full copy every time.

Seems to me this would apply in some circumstances.
