Two points of feedback on current pause options in the GUI– 1. It would be great to have longer time delay options for pausing. 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours would be very useful. 2. I have been selecting Pause ‘Until resumed’ - unfortunately it seems that scheduled backups don’t resume the backup, so it just pauses until I manually resume. If that’s the intended behavior of that function, perhaps another option Pause ‘Until next scheduled backup’ would work nicely. Thanks for the consideration! ---

> [@coffeeisnice](#): > > perhaps another option Pause ‘Until next scheduled backup’ would work nicely Oooo - I like that one! In case you’re interested in adding these items yourself, there’s also a topic about adding pause items to the tray-icon menu. 🙂 [https://forum.duplicati.com/t/add-pause-times-to-tray-icon-context-menu/577/8](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/add-pause-times-to-tray-icon-context-menu/577/8) ---

Thanks for the support. I’m not sure I’ve got what it takes to make these changes myself but hopefully they will be considered by the devs going forward. I also like your suggestion about the context menu in the tray icon. ---
