You could disable automatic backups and schedule eveything from cron
using BackupPC_serverMesg.
Or you could
- set $Conf{FullPeriod} to, say, 0.9,
- set $Conf{IncrPeriod} to 2/24 = 0.083333,
- use blackouts on the midnight - 6am and 6pm-10pm windows
- kick things off by starting the first full backup at 10pm.
The drawback with this approach is there no guarantee that the
full backup won't shift to during the day (eg: if a server is
down).
