There is also a freeware tool from www.backupcentral.com called
autosched.pl. It runs as an cronjob and uses a config file to automate
monthly fulls by class. It was developed a couple of years ago by Curtis
Preston and I've used it at several client sites in production. It's really
the only way to go if you don't want to manage an extensive cron file.

If you do not added to the same class the schedules in that class will not
realize that a full has been run.

 You can even create this schedule in the same class, it's
not mandatory to create it in a separate class. Just add
a schedule in your class with no start window ans kick it from
whatever scheduler you want (crontab, etc...) with a
"bpbackup -i" command.

 Amicalement, fx.
