How to set BE to go on hold (or pause) during business hours
Hello,
We do full backups on Fridays then run Duplication over a slow MPLS line. Until we can upgrade this line, we need to tell BE to "pause" the Duplicate backups during business hours should a backup need to continue Monday morning.
Our M-Th backups are incremental and the Duplicate backups of these only require about 2 hours (or less) to run, but duplicating the full backups take about 50-60 hours so they sometimes spill into Monday morning.
Is there a way to pause all BE activity M-Th from say, 9:20 AM to 5:40 PM for duplicates? This isn't necessary on the actual job (full and incremental) but it would be helpful on the duplicate jobs since they get copied to a second NAS device in another office. Most of the time we have to cancel them so we only have partially reliable backups offsite.
Thank you.
No. As I said before, once the job is running there is no way to pause/hold the job. You either cancel the job or let it run to completion/failure.
