Appending incemental to full backups (EXCH)

[Gray99]

Hi,
AS2000SP4 on W2K SP3

I run a full exchange backup daily using GFS, I want to run a full brick level on friday but only an incremental through the week (due to backup window) and I want to append this to the full daily backup job. I checked the append box under gfs under the schedule tab, but it used a new tape. We are using auto naming and the name it wanted to use started with an I rather than an 'F'.

I have tried changing the backup option to incremental for the full backup, but modifying all backups to full in the hope this would also use an 'I' as a prefix, but this didnt work.

Does anyone how I can accomplish this.

Cheers
Gray
