Hi,
Somehow I am not able to get a grasp of it. I tried limiting the wake up timing
with the configuration below but I still see the backup running at 8am and 9am.
WakeupSchedule 20, 21, 22, 23, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Why is it such? Is it possible to share a screenshot or something so that I
could really get it for good?
Regards,
Prem

See $Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} in the docs. Blackouts don't start
taking effect until that many days have passed with backuppc able to
ping the target outside of the blackout period to verify that it will
be available to back up then. Usually if you start your first backup
at approximately the time you want them to run, the daily scheduling
will keep it around that same time long enough for blackouts to take
effect. Or you can go to the node page and 'stop' a backup (even
though none is running) and you will have an option to set a number of
hours to wait before starting the next one. And then subsequent ones
won't start until approximately 24 hours after that.
