I know about it, I remember this being a pretty darn high threshold to pass
when I first started with BPC, and I have a feeling I might've irritated the
list pretty good with my questions at the time.

Ah, thanks.
Another solution ocurred to me; how about a companion app in the form of a
web-gui on the docs site with a helper to set up the blackout periods, you
know - a simple thing with checkboxes ("I want the backup to occur at these
times" etc, click "prepare code" and you'll get a piece of code you can copy
and paste into the config-file directly.
It might be a bit over the top though...
