Maarten, I do a full of each server everyday plus incr. The fulls are taken
offsite everyday but the incrs remain in the tape library. Every two weeks
we receive the offsite tapes back and recycle them. Quite a drag but that's
how our security chaps set up their business continuity.

Small extra question what and how
How often a full of each client and then: incr level 1?
At my site I have configured each client or even each dataset of very big
clients into a separate day for full backup. And we do a full once a month.
So that gives me approx 30 Schedules called FULL_01 to FULL_30. I make sure
(with some experience over been in this environment 10 years) that no 2 big
fulls run on the same day. Several smaller fulls are no problem though.
On all other days we run incremental and once a week a level backup, so that
becomes F,i,i,i,i,i,i,1,i,i,i,i,i,i,1,i,i,i,i,i,i,1,i,i,i,i,i,i for a months
periode after that we start again with Full.
In this way I donot endup with a lumpy machine having 2T of data wanting to
do
a full backup completely but as it has its data devided into 10 segments I
can do 10 days of fulls each segment separate. (hope you get the drift).
