Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I have thought of defining the number of the weeks
throughout the whole year but was just thinking if there is any other
easier option. When I was told to do the backup routine in this fashion, I
didn't really have in mind that it would be so tricky due to my
misunderstanding on how the schedule syntax works.
