I have implemented a backup that does Full, Differential, and Incremental 
backups to tape, and all that is working.

However, I would like to always keep a Full Backup of each client around on 
disk. And not just the last Full backup, but a VirtualFull that gets updated 
with every Differential and Incremental backup as well.

I looked at copy jobs, but if I understand this correctly, I can't copy an 
Incremental to a VirtualFull backup? I know I could backup each client twice a 
day, once to tape with Full/Incr/Diff and once to disk with VirtualFull, but 
that seems like a waste.

One option that I can see is to forgo the idea of VirtualFull and have Copy 
jobs that copy each Full/Diff/Incr backup and set retention policies to be 
short enough to only keep the last Full + any Incr/Diff backups since then 
around.

Is that the proper way, or is there some mechanism? (Basically, trying to do 
hot and cold backups)

Thanks,
Michael
