Ah you're asking about backup policies.
We run a full backup every Sunday and then it's held offsite Monday morning for production level servers. Every day of the week except Sunday we do incremental backups.
Also, we do a full backup before every major patch / upgrade / hardware change that could potentially affect normal operations.
Thing is, we use Symantec Netbackup for our systems here so that may change the mindset since it does all for open file backup.
