Also Justin, in a restore process, it should be the last Full plus last Incr
to recover. (Cumulative)

Many people don't do cumulative, but differential, and when you do
differential you need to restore, in order, each differential going in order
17th 18th 19th etc..

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 :-)

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?
