This has always been the case for all ADSM clients. You either want the
file backed up or you don't. Without a lot of trickery, ADSM can't do
daily/weekly logic. It's intended to be used for "incremental forever"
backup. What are you trying to accomplish with having different daily and
weekly backups?
