You could schedule a recurring period of downtime every day between 20:00 and 03:00.

I've attached an internal document that discusses this topic. Refer to the "The Recurring Scheduled Downtime Menu" section. This allows you to schedule downtime on a regular basis, so it sounds like it should be perfect for your use case.

With the "Add Recurring Downtime Schedule" tool, you would set your Start Time at 20:00 and the duration to 420 for 7 hours.

Hi, I have only item Downtime and I don't know how to set it, more in picture.
Recurring Downtime is not there.

You are using the Nagios Core interface, thats why it's not there.

You need to use the Nagios XI interface to be able to add recurring downtime.

Hi, how to use Nagios XI interface? Can I something install?

It's worth asking, are you sure you did a Nagios XI installation and not a Nagios Core installation? This question was asked in the Nagios XI section; The process is a bit different for Nagios Core.

Are you able to access the http://<server address>/nagiosxi/ path? Essentially, switching between the XI and Core interfaces is as easy as using the /nagios or /nagiosxi paths.

Either way, I'd say SKIP the recurring downtime, and just use a notifications_period entry that excludes your backup timeframe window. You're not "down" you just don't want notifications during that timeframe.

Hi, I tried URL http://192.168.100.103/nagiosxi and output is: Not Found

The requested URL /nagiosxi was not found on this server.

You do not have Nagios XI and hence you do not get the advanced features of scheduling recurring downtime.

You could set it up as a cron job using the command pipe. This web page has some examples:
