Setting up Backup Exec Job

Hello Everyone... Looking for advice:

Our company has approx 1T of data to backup. Using backup exec 2010 with an 8 tape autoloader.

I want to use a GFS Backup Strategy if possible. I'm not sure exactly how to go about it all. Tape capacity is 400GB. Considering the amount of data to be backed up, do i run my Friday backups as the weekly which means i would need 3 or 4 tapes just for this backup and would these be in their own media set? and then have a seperate job for the daily increments on different tapes in a different media set, 1 per day?

Any help and advice would be appreciated. If anyone knows of another post that is similar with a working solution can you pls point me to it.

Thanks...
