Is anyone doing full volume backups?

We have a requirement for weekly full volume backups in addition to our
daily incrementals. This is for the purposes of saving time during restore
after a disk crash.

I have been looking at the manual. The way I understand it there are two
ways I can implement this:

1.- I can do a selective backup once a week. Incrementals during the
week. If I do not have an Include-Exclude list every file should be backed
up during the selective backup, right?

2.- I can create another management class with a backup copygroup
specifying MODE=ABSOLUTE and make this the default during the
weekend to get my full volume backup. During the week I would go back
to the management class with MODE=MODIFIED.

Any recommendations?

Thank you for your help,
