+== specify backup time ==
+Under most circumstances our cronjob for backups are randomly assigned to the servers.  However, in some cases it makes sense to have the backup occur at a specific time.  If you need to specify the time of backups for a server you can do that by adding `backup_start_hour => "NUMBER_BETWEEN_0_AND_23"` to the m_minimal declaration in the server's manifest.

+    caching_dns_ips => [ "209.234.253.224", "209.234.253.197" ]
