What about something like this:

-full backup every 56 days (8 weeks)
two rotations of:
- 1,2,3,4,2,3,4 ; 2,3,4,5,3,4,5 ; 3,4,5,6,4,5,6 ; 4,5,6,7,5,6,7

I'm thinking that this way we wouldn't have *quite* as many tapes as
if we did a full 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 , but it will still cut down the number
of times we back up something that changes early in the game.

(and again, thanks for all the negotiating tips. The real short answer
is: that's my boss's role NOT MINE, he's had my input on this issue,
period full stop.  I've been tasked with reducing backup costs as much
as possible within the fixed parameters stated up front)
