As long as your backups complete overnight I'd keep the default weekly 
full, nightly incremental schedule.  It doesn't take any more disk space 
since all the identical copies will be pooled.  Just adjust the number 
of fulls to keep to correspond to the disk space you have and how 
important old copies are.
