BackupPC will not *stop backups*, it just won't start new ones during the
backup period, provided other conditions are met.

You can't set blackout periods on a per-host basis, only globally in
config.pl.

Check $Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt}. Blackouts only apply to hosts that have this
many consecutive good pings (as stated in the documentation). This state is
reset after $Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} bad pings.
To have your hosts always subjected to the blackout period, set
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} to 0. Another tip from the excellent documentation
right in the config file is to set the $Conf{WakeupSchedule} accordingly if
you don't want any backups during a specific time window.
Use the force, read the docs.

Holger
