I'm not sure what you mean by "changing end time". But, if you create a
VirtualFull backup, then future incrementals and differentials should
run against that VirtualFull. The "incrementals forever" model is
pretty risky ... it can mean that a restore requires a HUGE number of
jobs restored, and can fail if any of them is missing.
