Dear All,
There is a backup strategy as following:
- Full backup at weekend at night
- Twice Log backup every day in the morning and afternoon
- Reindex and shrink database every sunday

Any comment about this backup plan?

Seems to be OK.
What if TUESDAYS log backup corrupted and you come to know about it only on saturday? The subsequent log backups are useless.

Suggesting the following....
- Full backup at weekend at night
- Twice Log backup every day in the morning and afternoon
- DIFFERENTIAL BACKUP EVERY NIGHT.
- Reindex and shrink database every sunday
