It will happen on the first wakeup interval after the specified time
since the last full has elapsed and you aren't blocked by some other
constraint like already having the maximum number of backups running.
You can see the age of your last full in the host summary page. It
won't be reset if you restart the daemon.

If you force a full to start when you want and you are on a weekly
schedule, you should get fulls at the same time after that unless you
have a power outage or something that keeps the schedule from completing.
