Manually 1 full and 5 incremental backups

A customer of ours is used to Acronis 2017. There he made manual backups by pressing the backup button. After 5 times making an incremental backup automatically the program made 1 full back-up after pressing the button and starts again with 5 incremental backups.
In Acronis 2018 the backup program always makes a full backup after pressing the button. (although the settings are 5 incremental and 1 full)
Is there a way to get the same functionality like 2017? (5 incremental and afterwards 1 full backup)
Thx for help.
OS: Windows 10
Program: Acronis 2018

Hi steve and thank you for your answer. This method does indeed work with automatic backup. But with the manual backup (by clicking the button) this would not work according to my client. Then the program would always make a full backup (according to my client)

Lorenzo, there should be no difference between running a backup task by schedule or by doing a manual run of the same task (clicking on the Back up now button). The only issue that can arise is that if you are intending to run your backups on specific days, then doing an extra backup manually can upset that schedule unless you also use the option to restrict backups to just once per day.
