You can just run /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/411.pkg-backup manually -- that will keep a history of 7 backups by default, or you can tune that value by setting $daily_backup_pkg_count in periodic.conf I've found for some machines that shifting the time of day the daily / monthly / weekly jobs run is the simplest solution. Just edit /etc/crontabs. Some of the periodic jobs are quite IO intensive and may interfere with normal usage, but on the whole it is pretty painless.
