I have a script that runs every day at 6:30. The script checks to see if it's a
Friday, or the last day of the month. If it is, it forces a full backup of
every host. I then let BackupPC handle all the incrementals. I tell BackupPC to
schedules it's full backups every 10 days apart. Since I run fulls every 7 days
from my script, BackupPC never schedules fulls itself.
