The experiment with doing full backups bimonthly instead of monthly
having proved reasonably successful, it has been made permanent.
The /backup/weeklies control file has been rebuilt appropriately,
and various other minor changes (notably, renaming "monthly" to
"bimonthly") have been made. Also, as a recognition of reality,
the weekly tape sets will soon be relabelled to include the now-
omnipresent "overflow" tapes as part of the basic tape sets.
Finally, the custom of occasionally saving a full backup of the
usr and root filesystems has been dropped -- we never used them,
and they play no part in disaster recovery -- and the tapes freed
up through occasional rotation of the A+B tape sets will now be
used as replacements for the daily-backup tapes. There has been
no systematic arrangement for replacement of the daily tapes until
now, and some of them are pretty old.
