set:
$Conf{FullPeriod} = -1;
in your per-host config file. this will keep it from doing backups unless
you explicitly tell it to.
then set those backups off with a cron job that calls BackupPC_serverMesg.
The syntax is something like (from Craig's mail a while ago):
BackupPC_serverMesg is used to start the backup. In backuppc's
cron file add:
x y z a b c d /path/to/BackupPC_serverMesg HOST HOSTIP USER 1
x y z a b c d (I forget the exact number) are the usual cron
scheduling numbers.
HOST and HOSTIP can be the same host name if the ip address
can be looked up via dns. USER is the user name requesting
the backup (can be anything). 1 means full.
