In English, I want to do a full backup on the 1st and the 16th of every 
month. I also want to do a differential backup every Sunday and an 
Incremental Monday-Saturday.
Here is my config:
         Run = Level=Full Pool="Full-Pool Developer-PC" on 1,16 at 0:05
         Run = Level=Differential Pool="Diff-Pool Developer-PC" sun at 0:15
         Run = Level=Incremental Pool="Inc-Pool Developer-PC" mon-sat at 
0:25

Since the Full backups are represented in numbers, the Diff and Inc 
backups always have overlap with the Full. For example, today Sept 1, a 
full backup was scheduled to run @ 00:05 and an incremental backup was 
scheduled @ 0:25. If in fact there were no changes to the files in the 
fileset, the incremental backup shouldn't have backed up anything. But 
it runs anyway.

Is there a schedule that I can configure that will eliminate backup 
redundancy? One option is to do a diff on, say, the 8th and 22st of the 
month and the incremental on every other day not covered. I would, 
however, like to keep the differentials on Sunday.

Thanks in advance.
