Gracefully Stopping Backups after certain time

[kees-z]

@jmartin82

That option is there when you hit the X to stop a backup in the web GUI. A great option for manually doing it, but I’d like to be able to schedule that command.

Not exactly what you want, but you can try Sysinternals’ PsSuspend as a workaround, as suggested by @clarityoffline here:

Backups only during a certain time frame?

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 and task scheduler.
