Sorry for showing my lack of understanding. Anyways thanks for the
insight, but now I'm stuck on the scheduler syntax. If I want to run a
full backup every other weekend, would I use the following?

Schedule {
Run = Level = Full 1st Fri 19:00
Run = Level = Full 3rd Fri 19:00
Run = Level = Differential 2nd Fri 19:00
Run = Level = Differential 4th Fri 19:00
}

Also for running incrementals during the week, how can I have it not
run during business hours? ie incremental job starts monday and has
till thursday, but to be 'paused' from 9am-5pm?
