I guess I am not sure if a Full backup will override the existing backup. Does 
a full backup override only retired backups? So does this mean I have to set 
the volume to expire in 3 months and schedule a full job in 3 months + 1 day? 

What I don't want is to have a second volume created because the drive is only 
1TB and another full backup + existing incrementals will exceed the capacity.

I want to force the job to run on weekends because I don't know if 6 hours will 
be enough to backup 400 GB, M-F.
