A few others have already given some tips, I'll just add that if you use Microsoft Exchange (you don't say if you are using Windows or not), it has this nasty habit of insisting on a full backup every time a Microsoft Exchange update is applied. (Symantec Backup Exec at one client doesn't handle this gracefully and when the differential backup is attempted it completely hangs the Exchange server and Backup Exec requiring a restart of both!).
