VMware vSphere • First backup copy job

Hi,
Can you please tell me what is the best strategy for running a first copy job ?

I estimate the copy job will take a more than 2 full days to run the first copy job to object storage.
We have a bank holiday weekend here so I would like to profit from that extra time.

I have configured the copy job to use the repository as its source and to start after the local backup jobs have completed.

Should I schedule the copy job to run only on the Friday night (instead of daily), without a copy window configured, allowing the job a full 2/3 days to complete.

I would then modify the schedule and reduce the copy window after the bank holiday weekend.

Is this the best way or should I be doing something different?

Many Thanks
