Well, Andy's right, of course. But if all you're doing is backing up
ADDITIONAL files on Sunday, then the WEEKDAY files would still be included.

Of course the SUNDAY files would be EXcluded on Monday, go into inactive
status, and use the expiration versions/date parameters for deleted
files....which, again, might be OK as long as you're aware of that.
