You guys have been a great help in the past and I'm hoping to get some help once again.

The company I just started working for doesnt' have any type of backup plan and now wants one completed. Does anyone here have any links with some info on creating a backup plan or scheme with their advantages.

Effectively they want to backup 7 servers to a Sony TSL-9000 8 tape autoloader. It currently has backup exec 7.3 loaded. The full backup is currently only taking up 2 24gig tapes.
Right now some of the questions are, "if they do a full backup on Friday and then incrementals during the week what would happen if joe user creates a file on monday and then it gets deleted on tues or any day before the next full backup, but it isn't noticed until a few weeks later? Then it gets into the rotation schedule and how many tapes to keep.
The company I used to work for did Fulls on the weekend and Diff during the week. Keeping all tapes for a month. At the end of the month 1 set of full and 1 set of diff would be kept at the bank and the others would be put into rotation.
Any help would be great.
