- either manually start a full backup on that day and hope it stays that way
  (you might need to play with $Conf {FullPeriod} so it does) or
- initiate full backups from cron with BackupPC_serverMesg, slightly before
  the time the incremental would normally run, and set $Conf {FullPeriod} to
  more than 7 days so the BackupPC scheduler won't interfere.

Sorry, I'm not really familiar with that topic, though I probably should be.
A brief glance at the default config.pl suggests that it's well documented
in front of the $Conf {ClientCharset} option. If you're using BackupPC 3.0.0
that is.
