Suggestion:
Schedule the day's Incremental, then schedule the VirtualFull, say, 30
minutes later.
Put a RunBeforeJob script on the incremental that creates a lockfile (in
a properly race-safe manner, of course) for the client.
Put a RunAfterJob script on the incremental that removes the lockfile.
Put a RunBeforeJob script on the VirtualFull job that checks for
presence of the client's lockfile, and, if it finds it still present,
sleeps for five minutes before checking again, and does not return until
the lockfile has been gone for two consecutive checks (thus making
certain there is a minimum of five minutes for attribute metadata from
the job to be flushed).
