Can you set the blackout periods on a per-host basis? Since I have my
N900 with me all day, by the time I get home, the battery is, while
not drained, not full either. The first full backup drained the
remaining juice from the battery, so I had the backup set so that it
would kick off sometime between 11pm and 12am. Sometime this week, the
backup started as soon as the wireless connected, which isn't what I
want. So I added the following to the n900's backup script:

$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
    {
        hourBegin =>  4.0,
        hourEnd   => 21.0,
        weekDays  => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7],
    },
];

...and restarted backuppc. When I got home tonight, it did the same
thing, backed up as soon as I hit the door. Will this work or does the
blackout period in config.pl override individual periods in the
per-host config files?

Thanks,
