Just looking for advise on this really.
Being a 1 man IT band for a company of nearly 200 staff I've always tired to work on the side of caution and overkill when it comes to backups to cover myself. So I've always tried to do full daily backups to give the most protection and as the company has a 5x daily, 4x weekly, 12x monthly and 7x yearly cycle on backups. Its worked well for us for the past 4 years I been here, but with recent growth, both in data storage and VMs, despite moving to an LTO5 autoloader for our tapes I've hit that problem now where I can't continually fit a full daily backup into the backup window.
For ref my VMs are backed up with Veeam (forever incremental) to disk and these are then copied to tape as part of the nightly full tape backup (Backup Exec) which also does our physical servers.
So I think I now need to...
