What is the difference between weekly full and daily full backups?
In a typical data center, there are data sets (e.g., general file systems) that get backed up on a weekly basis with daily incremental backups being performed between full runs. Some data sets are backed up in their entirety every day (e.g., Exchange, databases, etc.). The total backup set is a combination of these two policies. The impact on deduplication is taken into account based on the number of full and incremental data sets that will be written to each solution (Data Domain, disk/VTL, tape).
