If I do a full backup weekly, doesn't that contradict the "1 full backup per 
month" ?

Are there some good examples of various options for the schedule?  I'd really 
like to see some examples rather than vague references to theoretical backup 
scenarios/schedules.

Schedule {

  Run = Level=Full Pool=WednesdayPool Wednesday at 8:00pm
  Run = Level=Full Pool=ThursdayPool Thursday at 8:00pm
  Run = Level=Full Pool=WeeklyPool Friday at 8:00pm
}

I don't really want to force myself to do a FULL backup on any specific day.  
Or is there no way around this?  I would like to stagger the full backups of 
each client.

My only other experience with backup software is AMANDA.  In there, the clients 
each do their full backups at different times based on how much they need to 
back up.
