Actually I could go by setting the time by using the WakeupSchedule and having all backups run at the same time, But I do need to have the Full backup to run in a certain day and the Incremental(s) on the other days.
By setting Blackouts you can set a window within a day but is always the same window for all backups, so how can I make the Full backup only to run on Sunday or any specific day of the week? I see that I can set the period between Full backups and Incremental(s), but that is once the first backup is run the periods take place, but, when the first backup is going to run? What I see is tonight will be the first Full backup if I set the BackupsDisable to 0 today. I do not think that is a good way to set the start date of the backup sequences. One should be able to set at least a start date for each of the Full backups for each Host in a deterministic way, then letting the scheduler take the control.

If you don't need sophisticated scheduling, then why not let backuppc do it for you within the window of time you set? Why do you care if it starts at a certain second or a bit later? -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
