You could just setup an aggressive wake up schedule, and adjust the black out schedule for those clients accordingly, of course it would fail every time the wake up schedule tried to backup that client. You can set it to wake up every 15 minutes if you want by doing 13.25, 13.50, 13.75 etc... On W

I have set up a backup job that way, and split it up into 15 individual jobs, it is still a lot of files though. I am going to try out sending a SIGSTOP and a SIGCONT to the rsync job on the client and see if it works. If it does, I don't think that would be very hard to incorporate into BackupPC
