I use my desktop machine but the backuppc archive is on it's own
disk and BackupPC_nightly seems to be constrained mostly by seek
time on that drive so it doesn't have a horrible impact if it is
still running in the morning.  I'd say it would be fine if normal
behavior were to wait until the nightly backups completed or at least
until 9 am.  However, a restore request should start immediately
even if BackupPC_nightly must be paused or stopped to make it
work.  (I'm not sure what happens now).
