If I Delete last backup does it move the backup scheme back one level

Thread needs solution

I have the backup scheme set so it does a full backup once and then 6 incremental backups.  I want the full backup to always happen on friday (which took some effort to get it there) so that I have all weekend to do a copy of the backup to an offsite location.  If I want to do another full backup on friday after it already did the full backup and before it starts copying the backup offsite.  If I delete the full backup and then do another backup will it do the full backup or do an incremental backup?  I don't want to get the day order all screwed up as has happened a few time in the past?

Robert, I would recommend taking a different approach to your requirement to make another full backup than the one you are considering.

Leave the existing backup task as it is, i.e. to make a full backup every Friday followed by 6 daily incremental backups.

Create a new unscheduled backup task to make the new full backup on-demand, assuming that you have sufficient space on your backup drive to hold this.  This new unscheduled task can then be used as needed to make an adhoc full backup.
