Usually you want the backuppc server to do the scheduling so it can keep
the optimal number of backups running at a time and it is good enough to
set the blackout window for the time you _don't_ want backups to run.
(Note that the target has to be on line and pingable outside of the
blackout window for some time before it takes effect, though). You can
also give things a hint about timing by manually starting a backup from
the web interface at the right time of day and letting the approximately
24 hour interval take it from there.
If you really have to constrain the backup to an exact time, you can
turn off the scheduled runs and use a cron job to send a server message.
That has been mentioned on the mail list before, but maybe someone who
is doing it could put an example on the wiki.
