Even though I have set up some configurations to save a trailing full backup every four weeks or so for about a year, I won't get the exact day for end of month backups - they could end up happening a couple of days before the month is over or perhaps even at the beginning of the next month depending on the values used. For some this may not be an ideal setup. I don't think this is possible through backuppc. The only way I can think of how this would work would be to setup cron jobs to schedule each hosts backups to one's liking which would be a little bit more complicated than setting up the host configuration files when it comes to choosing a transport, tweaking the flags and deciding on what to include or exclude...
