The every other day blackout is because I want to backup one server at a time because we are sending lots of data over a small internet pipe. Backing up both servers at the same time takes forever, so I do one server one day, another server the next.
So if I run a manual backup at 7:00PM it should be in order after that? How would I change manually settings for this? Thanks for response. Lee Connell Ammonoosuc Computer Services, Inc.

I black out every other day as you can see below. My issue is I don't want a backup starting @ 6:30 in the morning because everyone comes into work @ 8:00. I want the backup to start @ 6:00 PM. In this particular issue the blackout defines don't backup from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, however the backup started at 6:38 AM, I understand the way backuppc see's this, it would make sense, but how can I assure backups start at specific times? > Just curious - why black out ever other day? The blackout period doesn't take effect until a host has been pinged a certain number of days outside of the blackout interval to be sure it will be available after hours. Normally it will work to add new hosts late in day and start the first run manually from the web interface. That way you can be sure it is working and the approximately 24 hour interval will keep it from running before that time the next day - and by the time it drifts out of that cycle the blackout period will be effective. But, you can change those settings if you want. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
