I have a script that runs every day at 6:30. The script checks to see if it's a Friday, or the last day of the month. If it is, it forces a full backup of every host. I then let BackupPC handle all the incrementals. I tell BackupPC to schedules it's full backups every 10 days apart. Since I run fulls every 7 days from my script, BackupPC never schedules fulls itself.
