Okay I have kind of an ignorant question about back ups. I have been recently employed at a start up company with little or no backup policies in place. The servers use Symantec Backup Exec and on the users laptops we are using Windows NT backup. So here's my question I want each user to do a full backup once a week at different times and then do incrementals for the other 4 days. When setting this up should I append the incremental backups or overwrite them? Our servers aren't large by any means since it's a start up business so I want to save space but also want to make sure I can recover as much data as possible if something should happen.

Thank you in advance for your help.

That acronis article helped out a lot! I will definetly NOT overwrite them. I didn't think it was a good idea but of course someone had to put their two cents in and told me to overwrite it to save space! So I wanted to check with the experts.

Skiing is still good right now!! I heard last weekend was perfect weather for it, plus not many people out since it was Easter!

Thank you once again!
