Most people run a full backup weekly and then incrementals in between and then set your FULL retention to 60 days. Consider what happens if 1 full went bad? You would be out many weeks of data!
Also, that is a bad way of doing things, 1 full every 4 weeks and X number of incrementals? You'll spend a VERY long time restoring the incrementals after you restore the full backup. On 5/16/06, DLew97 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Our corporate retention policy for data is 60days guaranteed. How should I setup my retention periods? Currently we run a FULL every 4 weeks and a Differential Incremental every day. I have 60 days set for the incremental and 90 days set for the full. I am not sure if this setting is correct. I need to guarantee 60 days of data at all times. I am afraid that the earlier FULL is needed to do a restoration if the the file has not been picked up by the incrementals. Any suggestions? -- DLew97
