Hi,

I have a backuppc installation, where i have a few problems.

1. Scheduling: We wish to schedule the clients backup only after
11:00am, and till 07:00pm. Further we want to keep only 1 full backup,
and 5 incremental backups for each weekday. I know having 1 full
backup is bad, but thats how the management wants it. This is how i
have setup in the config.pl file

$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19];
          

You most likely want to update this as follows:

$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [20, 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19];

Also set the blackout schedule from 19 to 10.5

Reason: The first value for WakeupSchedule is when the nighlty (daily)
work/cleanup is done, including reading through the entire pool to
delete files no longer required. If this is done at the same time as
your backups it will drastically slow down the backups.
Setting the blacout schedule will stop any backups starting at 20 or
19. Also, consider that a backup starting at 18 may not actually
complete before 19.
