Well a full backup of my 5GB home over a 5mbit/500kbit Cable link takes about 
24h. But incremental data is perhaps 200MB which I can do in a reasonable 
time. 

Having the notebook run 24h each week is not really feasible to me (after all, 
it means I can't take it with me a whole day!). And since duplicity sometimes 
randomly stops updating it's rdiffs, I'd very much like a incremental backup 
mode, myself.
