Re: Monthly full backups with MODE=ABSOLUTE

Yes, but they need the whole server backed up each month. They have a requirement to be able to restore any file to a month-end point-in-time or the whole server. So it's not just the data I need, but the System Object to be able to do the BMR. Bill Boyer Some days you're the bug, some days
