Set it to 0 and 23.5.  Backups only get started on the hour (see the 
wakeup period parameter).  0 -> 23.5 will cover the entire timeperiod. See 
the help surrounding hourBegin and hourEnd for more details.

Dunno.  But I wouldn't do that.  There's no reason to.  If you read the 
help for hourBegin and hourEnd, you will see that it's not necessary. Just 
cover the hourly marks and you'll be fine.
