What i just started doing is: Full back up the first Sun of every month directly to tape incremental backup mon-fri directly to disk differential backup every sunday except for the 1st sunday directly to tape
Our data is about 300GB which will fit fine in 2 tapes, i dont feel like writing daily small sets of data to time is worth the time so i write that to disk and consolidate the changes with the differential backup. This will use 5 tapes per month (of course without current data demands) and allowing me to keep 4 months worth of data with the differential tapes allowing me to go back i time in a weekly manner.
