The grandfather, father, son (GFS) backup rotation involves a regimen in which you would run a full backup once a week, and a differential backup each day. The weekly backup (often on tape) is the father and is stored offsite. The differential backups are the son. The last full backup of the month is the grandfather and is also stored offsite. Backups can be restored by previous months, weeks, or days.
