Hi Tim

Not sure if you are aware, but you can schedule GoCD's backup which will
prevent interactions temporarily while it takes a database backup, so not
sure you need to "schedule downtime" as much as schedule the backups in the
middle of the morning and set user expectations if the server is otherwise
expected to be up 24/7.

For a rough rule of thumb, the build.gocd.org database is ~5GB and
anecdotally I think takes a minute or so to complete, zipping to a 1GB DB
file. This will likely vary depending on the resources your GoCD server has
(as the H2 BACKUP operation is done in memory) and the file system speed
for where your DB is stored and your output "artifacts" dir.
