Therefore, your incrementals won't run! :) That would actually be a somewhat nice feature, but it's really just a hack to allow people to force-schedule BackupPC. You can achieve the same thing via cron jobs if you really really want to. Except for archives, which aren't schedulable under BackupPC at *all* (grrr), I've found that simply letting BackupPC manage itself works fine. It either self-adjusts (because it just runs out of time and a backup might be skipped for a day), or I manually adjust it by starting a full backup on a different day. Timothy J.
