In order to minimize cpu load on our servers at the office, I'd like to make
sure that the full backups only occur on the weekends. Is there a
straightforward way to accomplish this in the interface or do I need to go
the cron job route?

It sounds like it's better to allow BackupPC to choose when the back things
up... but how does it decide? How does it know what is the best time?
I've also noticed that when I add a new host to the config, lets say on a
Wednesday afternoon, the full backups for that server always seem to occur
on Wednesday nights. It would be nice to set up the config so that the full
backups happen on Friday or Saturday nights, but does that mean that I need
to manually add those servers into the config on Friday or Saturday
afternoon? Or can I just schedule it somehow?
