The BackupPC system is a server-pull model. There is no such thing as a missed backup because the server keeps the schedule. If the server is down, the backups will run as soon as they are allowed to run (taking into account blackout periods and minimum uptime requirements). Making two or more backups in rapid succession because a few days went by when backups should have occurred does not improve your data security.
