Le wiki page looks fine to me. I can therefore schedule backups "full" over the weekend and "incr" them during weekdays.

I'm not the backuppc user (my english is slighter better !) : is there a way to force backuppc just to use the crontab ?

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.
