We had it somewhat setup years ago... but then we retired that server
and never got around to setting it back up again.

Subject: RE: backup question... and Symantec CPS

Appreciate the feedback from everyone... I was hoping someone out there
is
using CPS, lol.  Ah well.

I too run full backups at the end of each week.  What bugs me is, I know
that most of the data that is backed up every Friday in the full backup
has
NOT changed since the previous full backup.  Which means we end up
having a
lot of duplicate data on our tapes... Any thoughts on an easy way to
combat
this?  

For example, if on a Friday my full backup is 1TB, and of that 500GB
hasn't
changed ONE BIT since last Friday, it kinda sucks that I still end up
backing up that data again and again and again each week...   I was
under
the assumption CPS would address that kind of thing. ?

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
