I suspect you installed a new version of BackupPC but
copied an older config.pl file over.
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} is a new config variable that used
to be three different variables ($Conf{BlackoutHourBegin},
$Conf{BlackoutHourEnd} and $Conf{BlackoutWeekDays}).
The configure.pl script automatically handles this change
when you run it during an upgrade.
You should look in your main config.pl and see if
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} is there. I suspect it is missing.
If so, you can copy the definition from the installation
conf/config.pl file:
#
# One or more blackout periods can be specified. If a client is
# subject to blackout then no regular (non-manual) backups will
# be started during any of these periods. hourBegin and hourEnd
# specify hours fro midnight and weekDays is a list of days of
# the week where 0 is Sunday, 1 is Monday etc.
#
# For example:
#
# $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
# {
# hourBegin => 7.0,
# hourEnd => 19.5,
# weekDays => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
# },
# ];
#
# specifies one blackout period from 7:00am to 7:30pm local time
# on Mon-Fri.
#
# The blackout period can also span midnight by setting
# hourBegin > hourEnd, eg:
#
# $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
# {
# hourBegin => 7.0,
# hourEnd => 19.5,
# weekDays => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
# },
# {
# hourBegin => 23,
# hourEnd => 5,
# weekDays => [5, 6],
# },
# ];
#
# This specifies one blackout period from 7:00am to 7:30pm local time
# on Mon-Fri, and a second period from 11pm to 5am on Friday and
# Saturday night.
#
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin => 7.0,
hourEnd => 19.5,
weekDays => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
},
];
There could be some other missing config variables, but they
should usually default to something rather than giving an
error like above.
