I have a Father/Son backup cycle as follows:

Friday: Full back up to tape
Monday - Thursday: Incremental B2D, Copy to Tape

I have enough tapes for two weeks of incrementals (8 days total). But my policy is only writing to the same two files. Is there a way to specify which files to use on certain days or do I need to set the overwrite protect on the backup job to 13 days so it doesn't overwrite the file until the 14th day?
