usually, this is a result of not having enough good pings, but in this case
I'd guess you have a wakeup scheduled for 0:00, and this is when backups are
started. You could drop this wakeup from the schedule or shift it by a small
amount. Then again, BlackoutPeriods is checked when the backup is *run* (as
opposed to *queued*), which would tend to be slightly later than the wakeup
anyway - at least for some hosts, unless all are started in parallel. Check
your configuration(*).

Regards,
Holger
