Just set $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} to cover all the time you don't want backups to
start automatically. If your targets aren't on all the time you may want to
set
BlackoutGoodCnt to 0, depending on whether you'd rather skip a backup than run
it outside of your blackout window - they won't run before IncPeriod has
elapsed
anyway.
I don't think wakeups are necessary for manually starting a backup unless it is
blocked by something at the time of the request.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
