Like kees-z mentioned to save bandwidth for everyday usage, they split their internet with their neighbor and their phone is voip so I’d prefer not to do anything that could cause problems. It’s possible the backup won’t cause any issues but I was hoping there might be a way to schedule when Duplicati can run that I just hadn’t seen yet.

After a bit of googling i might be able to do this with [PsSuspend - Windows Sysinternals | Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/pssuspend) and task scheduler.
