Daily schedule seems to work, too. I've got a NAS with 20 T of
backed-up data which takes a little over 3 days to do a full backup and
its daily incrementals will patiently wait for that to finish before
they try to run. A couple other hosts in the 7-8 T range also take over
24 hours to complete a full, and they have no problems with backup
windows stepping on each other either; no attempts are made to start an
additional backup on a host which already has a backup in progress.
And then the daily incrementals for all of these machines usually take
only about 5-10 minutes to complete because, even though they hold a lot
of data, it doesn't change frequently - which also seems to be the case
for most "large media libraries".

Does it matter that it's too large to be backed up in a single day?
You could run a weekly or even monthly schedule.
It doesn't have to be daily.
