I tend to do this on my installations, because it makes sense for my environments. In config.pl I put: # set the wakeups to 'start' at 8am, # so BackupPC_nightly will start doing maintenance # when the main blackout period starts $Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [8..24,1..7]; Since the default blackouts start at 7am, this setting would seem to be a reasonable way to make the nightly maintenance job run at a time when no backup needs to run. The default configuration causes BackupPC to run the BackupPC_nightly job when there are backup jobs which may need to run during the night. Many of us have trouble getting all the backups done in the time allotted; it would seem to make sense to use that time most efficiently. Comments, anyone? Have things changed in such a way that this is not relevant anymore? (I started doing this with Backuppc 2.1.0, the first version I used).
