Adding a blackout windows

Blackout windows specify times when you do not want outbound copy jobs to occur. Blackout windows
override any attempts by backup application software to perform StoreOnce Catalyst Copies. Backup
application software will retry continually until a blackout window is over.
Blackout windows are available on most StoreOnce functions to ensure all StoreOnce services run
efficiently and do not compete for resources. For example, if running backup, restore, replication, and
StoreOnce Catalyst Store operations 24 hours a day, housekeeping cannot complete. Without
housekeeping, the system performance will suffer. Other examples include using blackout windows during
planned maintenance or heavy network traffic.
Prerequisites
Only an administrator can add blackout windows.
Procedure

System to identify when copy jobs are complete. It is recommended
to limit the maximum number of concurrent outbound copy jobs to 1
per 512 kbps of available bandwidth.
