Backuppc is designed to schedule itself automatically so as to fit as many
backups as possible into an allocated window. It is best to do this if
possible. (Using 'blackout' periods).

If for some reason you need to explicitly schedule a backup for a particular
time; this is best done with a cron job.

For example, to make a full backup go off every day at noon, put this in
your /etc/crontab:

00 12 * * * backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup
host.example.com host.example.com backuppc 1

You may or may not want to  stop backuppc from automatically scheduling a
backup of the same host. This is done by putting:

$Conf{BackupsDisable} = 1;

in the per-host configuration file.

The best documentation is the comments in the config.pl file. Read that
end-to-end, and you'll understand 90% of how backuppc works.
