True.. But if the 2003-07-07 backup is ok and 2003-07-08's backup fails, surely the customer would pick the next day of all days to request a file to be restored that was changed a few hours after the 07-07 backup. :-) I guess I could just use amadmin to force a level 1 backup of that server at noon the next day if nothing else, just so the backup finishes faster.
