[BackupPC-users] Blackout settings

I want most systems on my network to backup overnight but I have several notebooks that are only attached to the network during business hours. I reviewed the blackout settings in config.pl and wanted to know if I was interpreting them correctly. It seems that if I use the following

[BackupPC-users] fileListReceive failed, ruled out a dirty shell, what next?

Re: [BackupPC-users] rsyncd based only on full's
