The idea is simple: the partial backup function that is already implemented still relies on a full backup, and the incremental changes after that, but also make a full backup once daily.
So that with one full daily backup (scheduled at 2:00 for example) and then only incremental backups after that for 24 hours, you don't need to go through x number of hourly files if you need to restore, and your full backup is six days old.
Let the user configure so that SimpleBackups can keep eg. 5 days of backups, and then remove the oldest full backup and the partials that rely on that one.
Edit: Thanks for the work on this mod, it is an absolute essential for any and every server admin.
