Manuals urge that backup settings are tested manually, but when satisfied with the settings how can i specify what day that will actually considered as the start day of a schedule?

 

I set full backup at once a week but i want that at specific day and times, the rest will be incremental.

Is your NAS running 4.2.x firmware, or have you converted it to run OS-6?

 

With 4.2.x, per page 93 of the manual

The first full backup is performed at the next scheduled occurrence of the backup
depending on the schedule you specify. The next full backup is performed at the
interval you choose calculated from this first backup.

So you have to be careful about when you kick of the backup schedule in order to manage the timing.

 

Another way to manage this is to use 2 backup jobs - one that always does full backups (once a week), and another that never does full backups (running the other 6 days).
