Assumed I have 10 hosts and the maximum number of simultaneous backups to
run is 5.
Further assumed all 10 hosts have to make a backup today.
4 of them have theire last backup made 2 days ago and 3 of them yesterday.
2 have a partial backup and 1 have no backup.
9 hosts are reachable (ping) the last times but 1 host not. Therefore the
BlackoutPeriods for 9 hosts can be applied by backuppc and for 1 host not.
Nevertheless the time now is not within this blackout period.

Which 5 hosts will request theire backups?

Will BackupPC try the hosts in alphabetical order?
Or will BackupPC use informations about the oldest backup and try this hosts
at first?

Thanks
Matthias
