Re: [Networker] How to auto recycle tapes..pls advise

Thanks. These are EMC Data Movers using NDMP, which doesn't do incrementals and 
this is a way to work around doing incrementals.

The full may have expired, but these others that depend on the full
haven't yet. So the full must be kept around or you wouldn't be able to
recover the machine for that date. On 10/15, the last dependency
expires and the entire cycle can be released.

Any particular reason you're using multi-level backups instead of just
'incr' backups?
