The other problem is that if the schedule says to do a full, the "full"
will be marked as succesful.  Tomorrow, when you're doing an
incremental, you'll only back up files modified since today's "full"
instead of doing another full.  If you need to do a restore, you'll go
back to your last "full" instead of a backup that actually contains
something useful.

You're better off either not scheduling the job at all or having it
fail.

The moral of the story is don't lie to NetBackup.  It bites back.
