Two possibilities come to mind: 1) You didn't specify whether you were looking at the main server config or the host config. Blackout periods can be set on a per-host basis, so a host config can override the blackout period set in the main server config. 2) If a host is frequently unreachable, BPC may ignore the blackout period and back it up as soon as it sees it on the network again. This is controlled by the BlackoutGoodCnt and BlackoutBadPingLimit settings. -- Bowie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
