Christian,

Blackout also depends on that host having at least BlackoutGoodCnt successful 
pings.  If you've just set up this host it won't have met that condition.

When I add new hosts in the middle of the day, I tend to press "Stop / Dequeue 
Backup" 12 hours, so it starts at night.  That tends to keep the backup at 
night until it has enough successful pings.

Regards,
Tyler
