D2D daily / weekly strategy

Hi
I’m trying to configure a D2D (no tape) backup to a NAS box.
What I need to accomplish is this:
Saturday Full backup to folder “Weekly” on my NAS. Keep the ability to restore 10 weeks back (only Saturdays)
Monday - Friday differential backup to folder “Daily” on my NAS. Overwrite each “day” the following week.
I’ve created to Jobs (Weekly backup / Daily backup) and two Media Sets (Daily / Weekly)
The Weekly job have the “overwrite” parameter set!
The Weekly Media set have 10 weeks of protection and append set to “none”
The Daily job have the “overwrite / append” parameter set!
The Daily Media set have 6 days of protection and append set to “none” (I expect it to create more files if needed?? And the reuse them when overwrite protection expires??)
Both jobs have "software compression" set.
Is this the right way to accomplish my mission? Are there better ways?
Regards
Christian
