There's not a terrific way to do this using just BackupPC. The straightforward way is just to wait until next Tuesday and then manually trigger a backup on that day. You could also probably do some cron-foo to do this. > 2/ If a Full backup (or incremental not as importantly) fails on the day > I wanted it to run, then what is the BackupPC catch-up policy ie. how > long or many times will BackupPC try to get a good Full for?
