I am using conf files based on the defaults, with times changed. To summarise, my backups are:
Linux server "home" files daily at 11:00 Linux server shares (i.e. my key files shared to other PCs) daily at 11:00 Above on a daily incremental / weekly differential / monthly full cycle Windows client files at 19:00 incremental daily / 11:00 full/differential on Saturdays (weekly/monthly) The catalog is backed up daily at 11:10, Full every day. The question - should I be backing up the catalog after each evenings Windows files? I don't think so (this is a home environment). I think that the only thing that could go wrong by not doing so is to lose the ability to restore from one incremental backup of the Windows files (if the worst happened and the server needed re-building). Is that correct? [The only reason for having a different time for the Windows incremental backup is that it is not normally on during weekdays] -- Peter Crighton ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
