I use rolling backup like AMANDA, i.e., partition A gets full backup on Monday night, incrementals other days; partition B gets full backup on Tuesdays, incrementals other days; etc. I do a similar thing for weekly backups that are stored off-site, i.e., the partitions are lumped into four groups of approximately equal size. Weekly backups are done Sunday night. If there is a fourth Sunday, it is all incrementals.
