Hi, first thanks for this fine program. I discover it by HowToForge yesterday, and I prepare and install immediatly. My first question is: exaclty, when the backup are made? In which time? I can't find this information, maybe somewere in config but I'm sure I read fine it. I would like to know this for scheduling the pc on network that must be open. This means that I need to make the backup on night. Thanks and again compliments. Regards, JS |

I usually add hosts and start their first backup manually at the end of a day so their cycle will start out after hours even before the blackout would enforce it. -- Les Mikesell le...@fu... |
