I just have a cron job that starts a full backup at a specific time
and then have the full backup period slightly over 1 week.
here's the line from crontab:
0 20 * * sat /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup
<hostname> <hostname> root 1
you have to put this in backuppc's crontab (or use su/sudo to change
to the backuppc user)
