at different intervals and certain at different ? Basically i want a 
machine to be backed up daily and keep 7 days backup, then 4 weekly 
backups and no monthly and then another one, i only want the monthly 
backups.

Absolutely. The schedule settings in the CGI interface allow easy 
individual client settings for full backups: FullPeriod (time between 
backups) and FullKeepCnt (the number of backups to keep, which can be 
exponential over time). Similar settings are for incremental backups.

This is good. I am already off to setup backuppc inside a virtual centos5.2 
install. If it works properly on it, i will then configure it on the production 
network.
