backup config
Im running backup exec 11d
We have 10 tapes for each weekdays for to weeks ( monday01-friday01 and monday02-friday02)
than we have 12 tapes for each month.
i was running full backup for 2 weeks thn i changed it to Differential - using archive bit
today i was trying to restore a folder but the tape has only changed files so i dont have all the files.
what settings would you reccommend so each tape has a full backup. ( but i dont want to run full backup everyday as it takes ages. - i want backup exec to replace changed files only)
Thanks

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

that way, if you need to restore, you only need last nights differential tape and the full backup tape (for files that havent changed since the last full backup)..
using incremental backups means that you do a full backup, then every night do an incremental, but that means it only backs up the changed files since the last incremental, so you may need all your tapes to do a restore.
