the first backup you make is called the son, the next time you backup the son becomes the father, and the new one is the son, the third backup the father become the grandfather, the son the father and again, the new backup is called the son. at this point the grandfather is usualy shipped off site to permanant storage, so if anything happened to the data center the backups came from, the data isnt lost to the company.

very good post igalan, stuff everyone should know
