[BackupPC-users] BlackoutPeriods seemingly ignored
Hello,
I have a few hosts that should only be backed up between 23:00 and
7:00, i.e. when the network is not used much. Hence, I set
BlackoutPeriod for them to
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
'hourEnd' => '23',
'weekDays' => [
'1',
'2',
'3',
'4',
'5',
'6',
'7'
],
'hourBegin' => '7'
}
];
which I can verify in the web interface (see attached image).
However, all the PCs ended up being queued at 09:00 this morning,
and their last backup was yesterday between 17:00 and 19:00 o'clock.
It seems almost like BackupPC is just ignoring BlackoutPeriods, but
I doubt that this is the case.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

after leaving BackupPC running with my changes it seems to work for my
Windows 7 Client. (both manual and scheduled jobs)
Unfortunately I can not test this on linux/*nix clients right now, since
we simply don't have any. So my changes are likely to break something
in other configurations.
Can anyone with knowledge of the code please have a look at this?
Thanks,
Tobias

[BackupPC-users] Schedule Example Request
Hi, I would ask if you can help me to make a good schedule . The principles are: - A monthly full backup - 12 month of stored full backup - A daily incremental backup - 30 daily of stored incremental bkp I'm able to set that parameter myself but what parameter for level, compression and other advanced option? Obviously I want to keep as minimum hard-disk volume as possible. I have 2 servers and five/six workstation. The two server follows the above rules, the workstation keep a full backup every 3 month and daily incremental. I hope I've been clear.

[BackupPC-users] Backup windows xp/wind7/vista
For the life of me I cannot figure out how to backup only one dir on a
Windows box. I followed many instructions, which were pretty much the same
and have not accomplished anything.
I simply choose smb as xfer method and then made the smbsharename c$ and
added under backupfilesony \temp as a test.
Errors are either no files exist or it backsup the whole c drive. can
someone please point me to some working docs about backing up windows boxes?
All my linux boxes work like a charm..
Here is my config file for the PC in question
$Conf{SmbShareName} = [
'c$'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'c$' => [
'\\temp'
]
};
Thanks..

I use the setting below for about 25 Windows XP computers...it probably
has extra entries which are not required.

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
