I don't know what version you are using, but in any case, you should refer to the user guide. If you are using, e.g., ati 2012, you can specify in the schedule to make backup on any one or more dates of the month. I'd make two task, one for the first and one for the 15th and set each backup scheme to keep one backup is one is all you want.

If you set up a task that does full backups, keeps only the last 4 versions, choose the monthly options in the scheduler, and select the 1 and 15 of each month.
The first month, you will get one backup on the 1 and another on the 15,
The second month, you will get a second "first of the month" backup, and same for the day 15,
The third month, ATI will first create a third "first of the month" backup, then ATI will delete the first backup you made, and so on so forth.

So you will need space for 5 full backups.
