How many filled backups are you configured to keep?  And have you
adjusted the FillCycle value accordingly?  According to the docs, if
there aren't any filled backups other than the most recent, then
FillKeepPeriod won't have any effect.   It looks like if you adjust
the Full/incremental schedules out of sync with default that gives v3
behavior you have to tweak the FillCycle to create the filled copies
you want to keep.
