Comment 11 for bug 407672

@linuxfood: On second thought: supporting hourly backups means many more incremental backups are made, resulting in very long backup chains, which are not recommended by duplicity, if I remember correctly.

This would be a problem. Unless no incremental backup is made if nothing has changed during the past hour? But then there's always some file that changes in some dot-directory, especially if $HOME is in the include-list...
