Two replication tasks of the same dataset on the same target - different snapshot expiration?

How does this work?

Assume today is Wednesday.
I create one replication task to run Daily for Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat (that is 6 days), with snapshot expiration in 1 month.
Then I force the first replication which takes a long time to copy everything over.
Then I create a new Weekly replication task to run Sun, with snapshot expiration in 1 year. This new task I point to the same, recently copied dataset from above.
By Saturday night I have 4 incremental snapshots synced up.

When Sunday comes, will the second replication task be smart enough to know that there was a snapshot synced from the day before - Saturday - and copy over only the changes for the last day?
If not,
1 - will it copy only the changes over the last 4 days - in effect duplicating the work done by the 4 daily incremental snapshots?
or
2 - will it make its own copy of the whole dataset and completely ignore what the daily replication task is doing?

Thanks!
