I tend to do this on my installations, because it makes sense for my environments. In config.pl I put: $Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [8..24,1..7]; Since the default blackouts start at 7am, this setting wou

Hi, Yes, I would suggest decoupling the start time for the BackupPC_nightly job from the obscure setting of being the first hour on which WakeupSchedule is set to. I believe it would be much more cle

I'm not sure you can make a general assumption about when backups are run. Most places would catch machines that are on all the time at night but there may also be a lot of desktop machines that are
I don't disagree with you, but for the last paragraph, some environments run backups during the day when the client computers are on. Tony -- Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your cha

Agreed, however some default has to be provided and the current one (1am) may not be the best possible one. As you said yourself in another thread, even though BackupPC_nightly can be run while other
