Weekly, Fortnightly or Monthly Full Backup

Hi,

At present I use calendar based schedules on our policies and they run a Weekly Full and Daily Incrementals, the backups are sent to a VLS12000 which uses deduplication, the deduplication is based on Schedules, we arec hitting the buffers regarding space on the VLS with our current set-up.

I was wondering what people opinions are of using more incrementals on a policy, so we could have a Monthly or Fortnightly Full backup and Differential Incrementals inbetween, is there any danger using this method this woudl also free up time for any server maintenance without having to wait for a full backup to complete on the weekend

Does anyone use this type of scheduling and have you had any issues?

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated

 

Kev
