He does a full on Sunday to the weekly pool and incrementals the rest of the week. Each incremental should have just the day's changes.
What I find strange is that he's running the Offsite a day before the Monthly while the Weekly full is 31 hours after the Monthly. Given that the month doesn't always start on the same day of the week, the various backups could be done on different weeks (e.g. the first Saturday may be before or after the first Sunday). Another strange thing is that he's running both full and incremental backups each day, with two full backups on Sunday. I don't understand why anyone would do this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
