Disable full backup schedule on Tape

In the case of the tape job, it is not possible to disable the Full.

Even when using forward forever incremental on the disk backup, the tape job always needs a Full (normal or Synthetic Full) to build the chain and write everything to tape. For this reason, the Full schedule in the tape job cannot be removed.

“You can customize the virtual full backup schedule according to your needs, although you cannot disable the virtual full backup if you back up the forever forward incremental backup chain. Also, you cannot create more than one virtual full backup a day.”

Seeing this was brought back, to add some context, you wouldn’t want to do this. Yes your jobs would be much faster, but damage to a single tape, and you lose the whole chain!
