I just wrote a perl script (attached) to do this. I'm testing it, but it
appears to operate as expected so far. I encourage feedback (please send it
to me directly rather than spamming the list).
I'll add this to the wiki after I've used it for a few more days (and fixed
any bugs anyone else finds).

Due to a hardware failure on my old server, I recently set up a new
backuppc server and it backs up about 85 hosts with a 60-day FullPeriod.
Because I started fresh, right now all of the hosts' schedules are in
lock-step (all got a full the first day, an incr level 1 the next, ...) On
my old server I had staggered the fulls so that only one or two hosts got a
full each night, while the rest got some level of an incremental. This was
a pain to get going--logging each each day and doing a manual full of one
or two hosts, but worked great to keep the backup window managable once it
was going.
So my question is has anyone came up with an automated method to stagger
the separate hosts' fulls across multiple days?
Cheers,
Stephen
