Subject: Re: backup question... and Symantec CPS
Full weekly on the weekend on tapes that are rotated & once a month a
full monthly run that becomes a permanent tape at our off-site storage.
Incremental dailies except for the *nix stuff that I have to use
Differential/Modified Time on for them to work properly (that includes
the stupid mac server stuff).
Exchange is a full every day.
Haven't used CPS.

Out of curiosity...
Are most people doing Full data backups on a daily basis, weekly
basis, or
monthly basis? If you're doing weekly or monthly full backups,
what are
you doing on days the Full backup is not scheduled to run, an
incremental
or differential backup?
Is anyone actually using Continuous Protection Server (CPS) from
Symantec/Backup Exec? If so, for what functionality? Does it
work as
expected? Or does it leave a lot to be desired (like most
Symantec things
IMHO).
Just wondering what others are doing out there....
Thanks
