Easy.

If messages.1 becomes messages.2 it means in the next rsync run you have
to send over the whole file again.

So with a weekly schedule it means once a week you need to send all the
rotated files.

on a LAN this does not sound like much but if you happen to do this over
modem links you are not that amused if you could have done this with just
one or two files instead of 5 or ....
