thx. that certainly works as well ... however that mods the prefs file persistently; can be UN-done, of course. and, iiuc, BlackoutPeriods prevent any/all backups during their range, correct? I _do_ want to have backups _available_ -- i.e., _not_ blacked out at any time -- so they can run if/as needed. Good reminder re the 'risk' of eventual time-shift back ... I simply wanted to shift the _preference_ to a user-selected time, and will deal with it as it occurs. The stop/dequeue approach fits for now. thx! _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
