Is it possible to use ntbackup.exe (Windows XP SP3, 32) with two incremental backup plans?

An example:

"My Documents": every day, incrementally to D:\My_Documents.bkf
Drive C: every month, incrementally to D:\All.bkf

As far as I understand it, ntbackup.exe marks files as having been backed up in the file system. Thus, two incremental backup plans would interfere in a bad way. So, I assume that the answer to my question is: No

But maybe I'm wrong...
