If not, you probably should. Also, if recovery speed will be important, those incremental backups should be cumulative, not differential. However, cumulative takes more storage than differential - always the tradeoffs! Jack -------------------------------- Jack C.

The backups I have put into place are Once a week a Level 0 full backup, three times a week Level 1 incremental and three times archive logs only. Can anyone suggest some different recovery scenarios to test? Or if I missed any backups.
