VDP 6.1 - Backup daily except Mondays?

We have several VDP 6.1 instances in our environment and each one has 2-3 backup jobs and one replication job each.  The backups run nightly, but I need to tune it so that Mondays are skipped due to another maintenance going on, but I don't see a way to do that in VDP.  The only option I see is to disable each of the backups manually every Monday so they don't run, and then re-enable them again on Tuesday, which is a PITA.  Any suggestions on how to do this?  Thanks.

Create 6 jobs, one for each day, Tue - Sun.

Actually, create one job then clone it 5 times for remaining days.

That should work.

That's a good idea.  A little pain initially, but once set up it should hopefully be done.  Thanks.
