Why daily and weekly?

Dear hdup users,

Why does hdup create weekly AND daily incremental backups? I don't see 
any need for this redundancy except efficiency (recreating a file using 
30 daily diffs takes longer than using 4 weekly and 2 daily (=6) diffs). 
Is that the only reason?

If so, can I perform the "weekly" diffs each day if I don't care about 
recovery performance?

Regards,
Jeroen Versteeg
