If you force only the first one (on Monday, perhaps), what happens if the machine or network is down on the next Monday? BackupPC will do a full on Tuesday and every Tuesday thereafter. If you force one on every Monday, the system would constantly try to correct for this kind of situation.
Just try to make sure that the forced backup happens before BackupPC begins a scheduled full backup of the same host (or is there something built-in that would prevent this?) -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
