Hi, I've configured blackoutperiods in this way: $Conf{RsyncShareName} = [ 'root' ]; $Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'PASSWORD'; $Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'servername'; $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd'; $Conf{PingCmd} = '/bin/true'; $Conf{CompressLevel} = '0'; $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [ { 'hourEnd' => '23', 'weekDays' => [ '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6' ], 'hourBegin' => '7' } ]; In fact, my goal is to avoid the backup from 7 to 23, everyday. After this, I've reload configuration (via web interface). However, I see that the backups are not following my configuration (for example, in the past days, backups have been executed 11am and 21pm). Why? Thankyou. |

Why? Have the targets in question been up and pingable outside of the blackout window for at least $Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} days? If not, backuppc will try to back them up any time it can reach them. Normally if you force the first run at a reasonable time when adding hosts the 'approximately 24 hours' till the next run will take care of it until backuppc determines that the host will be reachable at off-hours. Note also that you can override the blackout period per pc. And on the per-host web summary page you should see something to indicate the status, like: Pings to host_name have succeeded 150 consecutive times. Because host_name has been on the network at least 7 consecutive times, it will not be backed up from 5:00 to 19:30 on Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri. (or whatever your blackout schedule says). -- Les Mikesell les...@gm... |
