Incremental Refresh detect Data changes (When occasionally old records get updated)

Ive had a question come through about detect data changes with Incremental refresh

 

Say you have 5 years of data in your model

 

Currently you have new records and data changes so we set the model to process the last years data and detect changes Using LastUpdatedate in our data

 

This is all great but very occasionally, there may be a data change outside of the years worth of updates

the question is, how do you deal with this? I Dont want to be updating the entire models data set when updates to older data doesnt happen that often. BUT, if it does happen, we want to reflect it in the model

 

Could you Store the last 5 years worth of data

Refresh the last 5 years worth of data but only if changes have been detected?

Is that still efficient? It feels to me like its not because it then has to go and look across the entire 5 years of data set. has it changed? Yes or No.

 

Any help on this would be great
