Hmmm... well what I do is this......
 
Weekly Full Backups around 1 month
Incr Backups 3 weeks
Month End backups set for 12 month retention!
 
With the settings you have, my guess is your Catalog Backups are going to
grow quite fast :-)
 
Also Justin, in a restore process, it should be the last Full plus last Incr
to recover. (Cumulative)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Retention Period Question


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?
