How do I fetch all non-hardlink incremental backups?

Hi list, We have been using rsnapshot for months now and it really works great, thanks! But my boss wants me to burn dvd copies of our incremental backups daily. So what I wanted to figure out now is how can I be able to get all non-hardlinks from daily.1, etc. so that it's small enough to fit in a dvd. Regards, -- Elijah O.
