You would really save yourself a lot of trouble if you just let backuppc 
work the way the defaults were set and wait until you understand them 
before you think you know better than it does...  It really isn't so 
badly designed that you have to reinvent everything.

Even if you normally want to control when a backup starts you can set 
the blackout intervals to when you don't want them to run, and set the 
full and incremental periods to somewhat longer than the interval you 
will do the manual runs.   It won't start an automatic run until the 
full or incremental intervals have expired since the last, even if that 
was manually started.   That way you have control, but if you forget 
they will run anyway.  And you really should be using 
BackupPC_serverMesg to tell the server to run the backup like the cgi 
interface does if you want to schedule it yourself.
