No, it isn't, because that's not the purpose of a VirtualFull job.
Consider, for a single example, what would happen if your backup
strategy includes grabbing a fast incremental of all laptops about an
hour or two before everyone leaves for the day, then running a
VirtualFull later that evening after everyone's gone home and taken
their laptops with them.  All of the VirtualFulls would fail.
