The quick fix is to force a backup at approximately the time you want it
to happen regularly - or initially add hosts at that time. Then the
next one won't start for approximately 24 hours, and by the time you
might drift off that schedule the auto-detection of which hosts are
available in the non-blackout period will have taken effect.
