I have a client with requirements for full monthly backups being retained for 7-years. 2-years ago we set them up with monthly schedules in a domain with the copygroups set to MODE=ABSOLUTE. Now these backups are running forever and I think it has to do with so many versions of the files and an INCREMENTAL schedule. The admin of ths shop has said that the monthly backups take longer each month.
My question...would setting -INCRBYDATE help with this? These backups MUST be a FULL. No choice on that. Bill Boyer "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional" - ??
