If no full backup for an account is found, the backup process performs a full backup on this account, even if only an incremental backup was specified.

For new users there will be no existing full backup; so you're fine if the accounts listed in the 'random' fulls are the recently added accounts.

By default:
Full backup is scheduled for 1:00 a.m., every Saturday.
Incremental backups are scheduled for 1:00 a.m., Sunday through Friday.
(check your zmschedulebackup -q and crontabs)

Look at the below 2 examples:
-You've simply added a user on the day of the two bold thrusdays below going from 52 (drop 1 & add 1 on thurs?) so back up 52 then to 53 users:
-Italics is a normal full on a saturday.

Notice that wed at the end - Did you remove one account then add another on thurs?
Wed: 52
Thurs: drop 1 & add 1? (52)
Fri: 52

Either your getting new workers/doing account maintenance on Thursdays or there's something scheduled on one account somewhere? (Do the 1 account's omitted match?)
