Hello,

I use this line in crontab to enforce full backup on weekends:

55 19 * * 5 backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup
HOSTIP HOST USER 1

I usually put the time to run at 5 minutes before the end of blackout
period to ensure that it will start earlier than normal backup run.
Also I put FQDN for both HOST and HOSTIP. Number 1 at the end means full
backup (0 would be incremental).
