I really like this idea. But I don't know neither if this possible.

It could be and it's already like this. However I noticed that BackupPC
doesn't take in account blackout periods for the first backup. Is that
normal?
Here are my blackout periods:
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin => 8.0,
hourEnd => 12.5,
weekDays => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
},
{
hourBegin => 14.0,
hourEnd => 16.5,
weekDays => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
},
];

I'm also thinking about this. But one other side effect is disk I/O
usage when making a backup.
