Frank Bicknell posted a new comment:
I occasionally find duplicity still running from the wee hours backup
and it's working on backing up one of those virtualbox machine images
that changed the day before. I don't use my virtual Windows box(es)
every day, so it's a marked contrast to "normal" incremental backup
days.

I assumed it was trying to reconcile changes in a huge, encrypted file.
It always finishes, but there's always a lot of cpu utilization (not to
the point of choking the machine, mind you).

Just seemed to me that if my premise is correct, it might make sense to
back up such files full.

It would obviously take up more space at the backend, but it would be
faster.

I fully admit my findings are subjective and could be improved on.

If no one else agrees, then consider it just a passing thought and we
can all get on with our lives.
