Important
When configuring blackout periods, keep the following information in mind:
 The blackout periods you configure apply to all of the partitions in the library.
 If PostScan is actively verifying a tape at the time the blackout period starts, it
completes the current scan. No additional tapes are scanned until the blackout
period expires.
