The default blackout in config.pl should look like this:

$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
    {
        hourBegin =>  7.0,
        hourEnd   => 19.5,
        weekDays  => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    },
];


This should keep jobs from starting any later than 6am. (unless you start
them by hand or with a cron job). So if you do your BackupPC_nightly run at
15:00, all but the longest-running jobs should have finished.
