What would be the best config to use to force certain machines to backup at a specific time. Thanks.

Alter their individual blackout periods to be open for a specific time frame. Then set the schedule poll check thing to check for backups during that specific window.

schedule poll check?

schedule poll check?

Yeah it is on the main config page I believe the Schedule tab and it has the times to check for backups. The default is every hour so right now it probably shows 1 2 3 4 5 6 ... etc

ya thanks i found that. but It doesn't seem to work. I would like to force it to back up at a certain time if it can be done rather than just tell it when it can if that makes sense.
