Feature request: recreate full backup from incremental backup (using hard links)

[maarten]

Hi Cobian,

First thanks for this great backup tool!
It's my preferred backup tool.

For my user data which a large bulk of data, mainly because of photographs and editing, I use incremental backup to save both storage and backup processing time. This works very well.

However when one needs to restore a backup it gets rather complicated. For example with 50 incremental backups and need to restore to latest backup one has to crawl through 50 backups, that's cumbersome. Is it possible to add a tool that recreates a full backup in the backup folder for a certain incremental backup using hardlinks to the last known version? So one can subsequently restore that backup by just copying the recreated backup, and deleted the recreated backup once restore has succeeded.

Thanks,
Maarten
