Re: [BackupPC-users] Problem with WakupSchedule and Backupplan
Thanks, Adam, for the detailed explanation. Just one more question: What happens if $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set to 1 and the backup of Host A is started on Monday and of Host B on Tuesday each at a given time by a cron job? How does this interact with the WakeupSchedule? I have a large media library which is too big to be backed up on a single day. That's why I'd like to split up the real host in several virtual hosts each defining a special part of the library and being backed up at night on a special day of the week. The PCNightlyJobs shall run during daytime. Can you give me an example of a correct configuration for this? Thanks in advance!

Greg, I think it would help if I could get answers to thesequestions:1. For how long does the backup system STAY awake afterhaving been awakened according to the WakeupSchedule?2. When a backup starts at 11:30 pm will it go on then overmidnight during the following night or will ist go on holdat midnight?3. Is there a possibility to see what is hold in the backupqueue?Maybe you have the answers.

[BackupPC-users] Problem with WakupSchedule and Backupplan
Hi, I hope that somebody can help. I'm lost with the parameters of WakeupSchedule and Backupplan. My Intention is that BackupPC wakes up once at 3 pm to do the nightly Jobs and the backup of a host shall start shortly before midnight and run from then throughout the following night. Whatever I try the backup of the host always starts at 3 pm. Is that because the BackupPCNightlyPeriod is set to 8 so that on days without doing nightly jobs the host backup starts instead? What's wrong here? I also tried to start the backup jobs as cron jobs. That didn't work either. Thanks for any assistance.
