Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Research should begin with the existing rsync backup integration and clarify the desired time-based retention behavior and completion criteria before implementation.

Description

Feature

I ended up using Arq on my Mac workstation in order to backup to Amazon Glacier while taking the minimum amount of space required.

Backup + rsync works great, but having only one full copy synced is not what I want. I'm wondering if you guys plan on adding support for adding support for multiple incremental backups by time with rsync (an abstraction for this: https://blog.interlinked.org/tutorials/rsync_time_machine.html).

Cheers!

Marcelo.
