Hi,

 for some time I have been using a full backup each night. However now the quantity of data being backed is getting towards the end of the time window available to me, as a result I need to re-jig the plan.

I'm backing up data to a tape library, so there is no shortage of storage space.

 

I currently backup 5 different servers, SQL, exchange, DC & 2 x file & print. The total size of data being stored is around 140Gb, the bulk of this is from the 2 x f & P servers which account for about 100Gb. This data is fairly static though.

 

I currently take a complete backup each day, but I'm now thinking that i need to start looking at incremental / differential backups.  What I'm looking for is device on what would be the best solution for me to adopt.

I'm thinking that as i have time from close of business on saturday, i could take a complete backup over the weekend, and then have either differential or incrementals for the rest of the week.

 

Thanks
