Now comes my .02 worth.
<<PLUG ON>>
        We use Roadrunner from Unison/Tymlabs as our backup utility. It has a
parameter that when set, will store a complete database even if only one
dataset has been modified. We use this on all of our partial backups and it
works perfectly.
<<PLUG OFF>>
        I think other backup utilities ,such as ORbit's backup products,
offer a similar feature. Turbostore might have it as well, if it doesn't then
it should be an enhancement.
