Hi, Casey
If your incremental backups take less than an hour, you should be
fine, but you will not have backups during the Blackout period. You
may want to change that.
It seems you forget to mention what is not working. I mean, taking a
quick look to your conf it seems ok.
If you have any specific problem, get back to us, and I (we) will be
happy to discuss your conf in more detail.
Regards
Luis
