How do I schedule this?

I'm new to BE and am running v11. I'm wanting to use 1 media set for both a full on Sundays and incrementals on the following Monday-Saturdays. However, the schedule wants to count not the week number but the occurence of a day.

For example, in June '07, being that the first day of the month is a Friday, my Week 2 backup would be:
- Full: 6/10
- Incr: 6/8-6/9,6/11-6/14.

Rather, what I'm wanting/expecting is:
- Full: 6/10
- Incr: 6/11-6/16

Is this possible?/What am I missing?
 
Don't start the job on the 8th then. Start it on the 10th and it will show what you are expecting.
 
Unfortunately, that wouldn't help. While it wouldn't backup 6/8 and 6/9, it still wouldn't backup 6/15 and 6/16. 6/15 and 6/16 still fall to "week 3".
 
I don't understand, sorry. If you schedule a weeks worth of backups, and start it on the 10th, it will backup the 16th.
 
I'm not scheduling just a week's worth of backups. I'm scheduling a recurring job. While it *would* work for that week. But being that it's a recurring job, it doesn't on others. Going back to my example, it would occur again in August.
