[BackupPC-users] Scheduling of backups at different times for different machines

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hello all,

I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to in the 
documentation:

How do I configure BackupPC to perform backups on different machines at 
different times?

I have tried adding a '$Conf{WakeupSchedule}' to the per-pc 
configuration, but it seems to be ignored by the daemon (in favour of 
the one in the master config file). I have then tried removing the 
'$Conf{WakeupSchedule}' from the master config file, to which the daemon 
defaults to hourly wake-up.

to expand on my requirement:
I have four local machines (on a private subnet) and four public 
machines. The local machines aren't under much load after 19:00 and 
before 07:00, while the public machines are busy 24/7, but are at their 
quietest between 04:00 and 06:00.
I would like to backup the local machines at 22:00, and the public 
machines at 04:00. Does anyone know of any configuration that will 
achieve this?

Thanks for reading this far,

Dylan

p.s. Many thanks for an excellent app. It has already impressed me and 
my boss. Now I just need to convince some of my peers in other departments.
