In my actual setup when the oldest FULL gets deleted (because it is now older than 4 weeks), do I loose also all the subsequent INCREMENTALS that were done? I mean, isn't an INCR backup related to its FULL one? Thus, if the oldest full gets outdated, the subsequent INCR ones wouldn't allow me to recover data (because of the missing FULL)... So, wouldn't it make more sense to retain 5 FULL backups? Any comments will be appreciated.
