OK, this is from my own setup.
Basically I run BackupPC_nightly at 0.30am. I just want to run
BackuppC_nightly at this time no actual backups.
Then I backup my servers at 3.30 and 6.30am and backup my clients at 11am 2pm
6pm and 9pm.
In the global config file set the wakeup schedule
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [
0.5,
3.50,
6.50,
11,
14,
18,
21
];
For the servers. In the per-server config file.
# Don't do backups between 7am and 2am
# Servers should be backed up overnight
# Backed up at first wakeup after 2am
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = 0;
$Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} = 3;
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin => 7.0,
hourEnd => 2.0,
weekDays => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
},
];
So servers are backed up at the first wakeup after 2am
For the clients. In the per-client config file
# Don't do backups between Midnight and 9am
# PC'c should be backed up during the day
# Backed up at first wakeup after 9am
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = 0;
$Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} = 3;
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin => 0.0,
hourEnd => 9.0,
weekDays => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
},
];
So clients are backed up at the first wakeup after 9am if they are online.
Otherwise they are checked at each wakeup till midnight.
Hope this helps,
Tony
