If you want to run a full each week then a day should be inserted here
> Run = Level=Full Pool=Full on 1st at 2:00 # (#04)
Run = Level=Full Pool=Full on sun at 2:00 # (#04)
Then every sunday at 2 (I would avoid the 2-3 range due to DST) a full is run.
As advise, I would always have at least 2 full backups, if for any reasons the
last run failed you still have one.
