You must not be very good at Google ;) Googling: backuppc full weekend (those are the 3 key words used based on your own first sentence "I'd like to make sure that full backups only occur on the weekends) And what do you know...

Re: [BackupPC-users] Restrict machine to do full backups Friday night ... that machine to exclude everything except for the weekend > -- or ... http://www.adsm.org/lists/html/BackupPC-users/2011-03/msg00339.html Which is *exactly the thread from less than 2 weeks ago that I was referencing...
