We have a server that reboots every night as part of its backup process. Rather than get a daily email that the server rebooted, does anyone have a handy trick or alert template to exempt alerts for this server during its daily maintenance window?

This is what you would use the Unmanage Scheduling Utility for. Simply create a scheduled recurring unmanage window for the node. During this time when the node is unmanaged any alerts configured should be suppressed. The server being "down" while unmanaged will also not count against the server's availability statistic since this is considered to be a planned outage.
