Sufficient Tape Backup Routine

I need to know if my tape backup routine is sufficient. I do not have a
large enough backup window to do a FULL backup of the JDE servers every
night. Instead, I do a full backup on Saturday nights and then backup the
SQL databases each weeknight. The SQL backups are FULL backups of the SQL
stuff, not incremental. If I lose a server, theory says I can restore from
Saturday's FULL tape and then restore SQL databases from last night's tape.

I know that I will lose any programming work that was checked in and/or
deployed since the previous Saturday, but that code should still exist on
the developer's workstation. What else do I stand to lose from this backup
routine?

B7332, SP17.1_E1, NT4.0, SQL7.0
 
You are OK with your plan! I would doublecheck that the developers are
keeping their code on their workstations.

Hi there :

Are you doing backup of Deployment's licenses and JDE.INI?
And master database?

Master Database: Yes
Licenses and JDE.INI: NO

How would I start getting the license files?
 
I get these on the weekend backup. Do they change throughout the week?
