Well, it should do incremental backups, depending on the
configuration. You can verify the type of each backup in the cgi
interface. You can specify in the per pc configuration file the
blackout periods so that backups only occure when you want them to
occure. For exemple (this is the default configuration)
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin => 7.0,
hourEnd => 19.5,
weekDays => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
},
];
With this the backups won't occure (if the host is always connected,
but, as we talk about the localhost, it will always be connected) from
7h00 to 19h30 during all the week (from monday to friday). You can
define several blackout period.
