I don't understand how BackupPC decides when to run backups.
My main backup folder (36GB) is backed up every night at 5am,
which is fine by me,
but I don't see where this is specified in the config file.

The Schedule for this computer states
        hourBegin: 10
        hourEnd: 4
        weekdays: 1,2,3,4,5

What exactly does this mean?
Is this specifying when BackupPC is _not_ to run?
If so, it could be put more clearly.

According to the logs this machine is backed up every day,
including week-ends.

I should say that I find BackupPC almost perfect,
and one of the best things about Fedora.

(Incidentally, I solved the problem I asked about earlier,
concerning backup of a folder on the backup computer.
I was trying to run this as myself rather than backuppc,
since I owned the folder in question.
But after correcting this, and adding backuppc's id_rsa.pub
to root's authorized_keys,
ie doing exactly what I did for different computers,
it is now working fine.)
