What im actually after is for the incremental TO run after i invoke a 
manual full.

We are moving some kit from one data center to another, and i want to 
manually invoke a full backup outside its window to save having to edit 
all my policies and schedules. I then want the next nights backup to be 
incremental so it finishes in time for the move to start and so people 
are not waiting around for backups to finish.

I am trying to get out of having to adjust backup windows and 
frequencies for a number of policies :)

I guess ill have to try and test at some point.

Cheers
