actually, I believe that the fulls are expired when BOTH: - all incrementals depending on them expire - the retention period for fulls expires > So, wouldn't it make more sense to retain 5 FULL backups? If you retain 5 full (weekly) backups, but only 4 weeks of incrementals, you will not have incrementals for that last week.
