Full backup on the first Sunday of the Month at 23:05

Differential backup on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Sunday at 23:05

Incremental Backup on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday at
23:05
This means that for example on the 1st Sunday of the Month you'll run a full
backup and an incremental together.. unless you configure against duplicates.
A differential backup is everything that's changed since the last FULL
backup... Thus is you want to restore you could be using a FULL and the
Differential, rather than FULL, Incremental, Incremental, Incremental....
