You can manually start a full with the web interface on the day of the
week that you'd like fulls to run and unless something drastic goes
wrong they will continue to happen on that day of the week, simply
because the next full won't start until 6.97 days have passed - and the
next wakeup happens.

Usually they start immediately when you add a host - or at the next
wakeup. If you don't want that, you can stop it and/or defer the run
for a specified amount of time.

If it has completed a run, you can either log in and force a full at the
time you want the cycle to repeat or use a cron job to start it. If it
hasn't done the first one, go to the place you would stop a run and put
in the time to defer before starting.

You can. But note also that the Blackout period doesn't take effect
until a host has been detected as up outside of the blackout period.
This is to ensure that hosts that are turned off at night still have
backups done when possible. But, if you defer the start of the first
run - or add the host late in the day - the interval between runs will
take care of it after that.
