      Is it possible to reset backup-delta to backup-full at the desired time, not at a defined interval number of deltas?
      I have the following scenario:
      An VM that I want to backup-delta all week and only on Saturday to reset to full backup.
      I created three cron patterns on the same backup plan (Continuous Replication):
      1. One that does the backup-delta at an interval defined as below,

      2. One that contained the backup-delta for Saturday,

      3. One that should reset the VM to a full backup.

      Creating the three cron patterns, I now have two snapshots as below, and my intention is to have only one and reset it to backup-full on Saturday at a certain time.

          I don't think I understand the question, it appears to me you want to do delta backups each day of the week but a full backup on Saturday.

          Using a dedicated schedule with force full backup like shown on your screenshots is indeed the way to go.

            Yes, that's what i want to do.
            But at the moment it create an snapshot for each cron that I made and I want to have only one snapshot and to be reset to full backup on Saturday.
            In essence, I want to have only one snapshot to an VM no matter how many cron I have attached to the replication.
            In this case, I want to reset the Continuous Replication chain when the server is least busy, not after a number of replications
