Is there a way to limit the maximum time that a backup can run for? I am almost certain that I can remember seeing this mentioned somewhere, but can't find it in the documentation.
I have a couple of off-site servers connected via OpenVPN tunnels over ADSL links that can (when a user dumps a load of file on them) take 24 to 36 hour to backup fully. The problem with this is that a backup that runs during business hours slows down the remote sites Internet access to an unacceptable level. I would like my backup server to only run backups outside of business hours (only run between 7pm to 6am) and if a backup takes longer, then it should be aborted, then pick up again the next time the client is backed up. I believe that if a backup is aborted, then BackupPC will automatically carry on from where it was stopped, so the last requirement should not be an issue. Can this be done? If so, can anyone point me to some instructions? Thanks in advance.
