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

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. ? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 1:57 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: backup question... and Symantec 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....
