Please note that if you want your year-old incrementals to be useful,
your fulls will need to be kept a year and a week. So if you really
want to be able to restore from an incremental that is a year old, your
"keep for a year" retention might really be set to 53 or 54 weeks.

Title: RE: [Veritas-bu] Retention Schedules
We backup over 60 TB per week and had to
set retention standards to make the best use of our tape drives and
tapes:
Prod OS and Application : Weekly Cumulative
Incrementals Retention : 2 weeks
Monthly
Title: RE: [Veritas-bu] Retention Schedules
It depends on the nature of the data. Our OS backup only keeps 1 month for incr, and 3 months for full. For data backups, each business unit will give us the requirement, so it depends.
