The only way is to make sure that the number of incrementals you keep will
fit between the fulls no matter what. So, with weekly fulls, you could
shrink the number of incrementals to, say, 5: that way if one fails,
you're still OK. But if two fail, you will have a point where you will
have THREE fulls remaining.
Or, do only full backups. Because of pooling, the amount of space used
for a full backup and an incremental backup is *IDENTICAL*. The *only*
advantage of incrementals over fulls is that they run in less time. If
you're able to do a full backup in enough time, you could simply switch
FullPeriod to 0.97 and FullKeepCnt to 7 and let it go at that.
