Do you need all daily incrementals here or just a few weeks, then weekly 
fulls going back in time?

That's how often a new full will be taken.  I'd leave that at a week.

FullKeepCntMin=13 would keep 13 weekly fulls regardless of their age.
IncrKeepCntMin=78 would keep the corresponding daily incrementals (but 
you may not really care about the older ones. These settings won't age 
out even if backups stop being taken.
