I'm considering a change to our current backup schedule, and I'm curious to 
hear from everyone on this list what type of schedule do they use and why?   
For example, we perform full backups weekly, with differential incremental 
backups the other 6 days of the week. We employ a 5 week rotation of tapes for 
the weekly & daily backups.  Also, at the start of the month, a full backup is 
performed on each server on a different set of backup tapes, to be stored 
offsite.  Of course, the full backups are performed on weekends when the server 
loads are relatively light.

I've employed this type of schedule for the last two companies I've worked for, 
and it has worked pretty well. I'd really like to hear from others to help me 
get a better understanding of what may be improved upon our own scheduling. TIA.
