You should use archives for long-term storage. Backups are for day-to-day 
backups.

        Subject: Progressive backup methodology
        
        

        Hi to all
        
        I have a question regarding progressive backup methodology for backing 
up
        client data.
        
        If i am correct, during progressive backup i perform only one Full 
backup
        and then incremental backups.
        
        Let say that i want to keep the client data for one year. What are the
        definitions for the backup copy group or archive copy group (for the 
full
        and incremental backups).
        
        Thanks in advance
        N.Savva
