Hi
I have Policies that contain FULL, INCR and believe it or not Monthly with
higher retention periods via the Calendar Schedule.
 
Nothing wrong with this :-) If an Incremental was in a seperate policy, you
would end up using ALOT of tapes..... why you may ask? Well without a Full,
how is the Incremental going to know what data has been backed up (or set an
archive bit).
 
If there is nothing for the Incremental to compare a full against, its a
waste of tapes :-) An Incr keeps going and going :-)
 
HTH

Question:  
 
Currently I have separate policies for Full backups and Incremental backups.
The Fulls have a different retention period than the Incrementals.
I was told to have one policy that includes both the FULL and Incremental
backups.  I have done a test and it appears that with different retention
periods, my backups performed a lot slower and hung up more.
 
Anyone have any insight on this matter?
