To be considered 'always connected', some number of pings have to
succeed outside of the blackout period. I usually start the initial
backup of a new machine late in the day. Subsequent automatic runs
won't start until 24 hours have passed, then later after the target
is determined to be always available the runs won't start until the
blackout period. If you force an incremental just before you leave
work you'll shift into that cycle.
