Or, since the default scheduler does fulls once a week, you can just use 
the web interface to force one at the time you'd like them to happen. 
Incrementals will subsequently run (approximately) every 24 hours from 
then and fulls every week.  Even easier - just add new machines at about 
the time you'd like their full backups to run - or as you are leaving 
work on Fridays.
