Why do you randomize your backup times?
- stryan 5mo agoShould have been more clear: I use RandomizedOffsetSec= to add a random offset to a set start time (usually 4am), to prevent overloading the backup server, not truly random start times.
- capitainenemo 5mo agoAs someone else noted, that's also a cron feature
- c-hendricks 5mo agoA feature of _some_ cron systems
- capitainenemo 5mo agoTrue. But commonly used ones.
