Is it possible to configure backupPC to run full backups on Saturdays
throughout the day, and even on Sundays?

set up a cron job like this:

00 18 * * 6     backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup 
server.example.com server.example.com backuppc 1

this will send a message to the backup server to set off a full backup at
the specified time. (If I got the syntax correct).

Your spec will hit on Saturday, at 6pm, but not Sunday...

Try this:

00 18 * * 0,6 backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup server.example.com server.example.com backuppc 1

I love the commas, I use them to run jobs every 12 minutes, or 10 times an 
hour.... :-)
