Hello,

I am looking at moving towards virtual full backups as a way to cut down 
on our backup times. The situation is that our full backups on several 
of our file servers are running over their window. My question is what 
could the draw backs be to moving towards virtual full backups?

I currently backup to disk and and copy to tape (full backups only) for 
archival purposes. My idea would be to do a virtual full backup to the 
disk and still copy that to tape. Are their any risks for the backups 
becoming corrupt? Should I still do periodic full backups or is anyone 
using this technique to do infinite incremental backups?

Thanks for your help,

David
