This is the schedule:

Schedule {
   Name = "WeeklyCycle"
   Run = Pool=Full Full 1st thu at 23:05
   Run = Pool=Diff Differential 2nd-5th thu at 23:05
   Run = Pool=Inc Incremental fri-wed at 23:05
}

JobDefs {
   ...
   Name = "DefaultJob"
   Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
   ...
}

Job {
   ...
   JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
   ...
}


Job {
   ...
   JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
   ...
}

and so on.
