If you want to explicitly start a backup at a certain time, the best way to
do it is using a cronjob. For instance, this will start a full backup:

00 05 7 9 * backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup
host.example.tld host.example.tld backuppc 1

if you want to tell it to do an incremental backup, put a '0' at the end of
the command instead of a '1'.
