OK, now come the questions:
* What was the database size?
* What was the RPO (Recovery Point Objective)? How much time does the
DBA have to restore the database?
* Was any deduplication mechanism in use? Appliance or software?
* Has the client performed a restore test?
* Where was the backup performed? On the database itself or on some
kind of a clone?
Good luck with restoring 20TB database from weekly full and daily
incrementals. If the client can afford that, than the database probably
isn't terribly important. The best name for weekly full and daily
incrementals backup strategy in case of multi-TB databases is "prayer
based strategy". You back it up and pray that you can recover it in
less than a week.

am not sure where you get the idea that most places don't use incremental
backups. That is the opposite of my experience.
