Can you explain what you mean by: "Also, as others have mentioned before, there's no need to make these monthly/yearly backups a selective(full). You can just make a 12 version & 5 version management policy for the monthly & yearly backups, respectively. All the backups can be incremental this way, and you save bookoo tapes & DB entries (not to mention faster backups)."
As I have a similar issue.
