Oh! I think what you are saying is 'Cumulative' or FULL backup will not require to restore all the backups between 'Fri' and failing point. Right?

But, FULL backup everyday will not take much time and disk space. Right now, we are taking the backup to disk as a temporary solution. Our long term plan is to use Veritas NETBACKUP for taking the backup directly to tape.

Pl. suggest.

Thanks,
