Hi Jeffreythanks for the input
that takes me back to my original issue
I am rebuilding indexes on sat night after my full back up
what happens then is that my differentials are huge because of the rebuild
(every 4 hours)
so i was going to rebuild the indexes before the full to alleviate the size of the differentials that follow..

This is a decision you have to make, we can't make it for you. If you are rebuilding every index on Saturday night, then you may want to run a differential prior to the rebuilds (gives you a restart point if there is a problem during the rebuilds) and then a full backup when they are completed.
This has to be your decision and you have to support it to your boss.
