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).
