Hi Joe! Well, in that case full backups won't even help you. A backup once a month to a different managementclass will cause all previous backups to be rebound to this managementclass. The next day you run a standard backup, all previous backups (including the yesterday backup!) are rebound again to the standard retention. Like mentioned here yesterday by several people: use backupsets, use archiving or use a different node name for the long term storage backup. Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
