Sprint

Hi

Been using FreeFileSync for a while (am i paid up member) to sync my network shares from various home servers and NAS shares to a "backup of last resort" which live on an UnRaid box. I normally power on the box once a month and run a job I've built that transfers any new/changed file, which over gigabit takes a a couple of hours (20Tb of data to check)

I'm thinking of moving this server to a friends house (where I already have a site to site VPN inplace for my old backup box that uses TrueNAS), but i don't want there internet to be affected if lots of large files are being moved (current TrueNAS box will not stop if the replication is big). Is there a feature, and if there isn't could I request the ability to set not only a schedule for when the job starts, but a set period (say 9am to 11pm) where if the job is still running, it'll pause and wait?

Thanks in advance :)

You would have to create something, probably using Task Scheduler. FFS doesn't support this natively
