Allan is right. Differentials should do something pretty close to what you
need. A differential backs up data that changed since the last
lower-numbered backup. A full is level zero. So create a schedule called
"Level 9" with a full on the day of the week you want and level 9 on the
other days. Then create another called "Level 5" with a full and level 5.

In the client definition that runs in group 1, select schedule: Level 9. In
the client for group 2, select schedule: Level 5. As long as group 1 always
runs before group 2, both will back up changes since the last full.
