first, let's ask: what problem are you trying to solve? backuppc is designed to schedule backups intelligently, and make them go off when needed and when possible; not according to an inflexible schedule. Are you trying to make them *not* happen at a particular time? Or is there a compelling reason to have them be attempted at 5am, no matter what? (it can't be guaranteed that they will occur; there may be a link problem, or some other physical issue). Read the config.pl file section about 'blackouts' if you're just trying to keep them from happening at inopportune times. If you really need to force one to be tried at a particular time, set up a cron job. There's an entry in the backuppc wiki describing how to do this. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
