You can do something like this.....
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin => 0.0,
hourEnd => 23.5,
weekDays => [0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
},
{
hourBegin => 0.0,
hourEnd => 19.5,
weekDays => [6],
},
];
But its also important to set.....
**$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = 0;
so that blackout values are enforced. This is documented in the config.pl.
if your...... $Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [1..23]; # every hour
except midnight
(which would be the default value)
...then......
the above blackout period should do what you are after. Backups should
only kick in on Saturday at either 8pm, 9pm, 10om or 11pm when backups
will attempt to be run if necessary via WakeupSchedule.
make sure you restart backuppc after making the changes.
