    In a nutshell, you can't.

    SLP will duplicate completed images, there is no way to be 'selective'.

    Sorry if this isn't the answer you wanted to hear.

    You can configure a selected amont of timings, for example, if it normally checks for duplicats every 30 mins, you could change this to every 1 hr (which might give the jobs a chance to finish), but this is hit and miss, as it depends when you start counting the 1 hr from.

    The only real option is to deactivate the SLP (the backups will still run).

    The SLP will then catch up when it is re-enabled.
