you can put this in crontab:
daily incrementals:
> 00 02 * * * backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup
> host.domain.tld host.domain.tld backuppc 0
>
monthly fulls:
> 59 11 * * * backuppc if [ `/usr/local/bin/date +%d -d tomorrow` = 01 ] ;
> then /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup host.domain.tld
> host.domain.tld backuppc 1
the 'monthy fulls' part is just saying 'run this script if tomorrow is the
first. of the month BUT it must be run at the end of the night, not in the
morning. if you wanted to have it run at 2am do
monthly fulls:
> 00 02 * * * backuppc if [ `/usr/local/bin/date +%d -d tomorrow` = 02 ] ;
> then /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup host.domain.tld
> host.domain.tld backuppc 1

this will say 'if tomorrow is the second, run this' BUT you would need to
run this very early on the in the day.
