Attached is a simple bash script I'm using to create a full backup on Sunday, Wednesday and level 1 incrementals between them. A volume name is specified in the command line after the script name. It runs through cron for several of my volumes, not thousands like in your case though. Feel free to modify and use it if you find it helpful.
