Only replication between certain time frames (remote FreeNAS server)

[curtishall]

I have a remote FreeNAS that I'd like to only send data during after hours (5p-8a)....so I need stop the replication at 8a. I tried creating a replication schedule however the task keeps going after 8a.

Any suggestions besides restarting the remote server at 8am?

Thanks

The schedule only affects the start time of your tasks. They will keep going until finished.

Unless you have a ton of daily changes and/or small bandwidth, sending incremental snapshots should finish before the next morning. If you are using ZFS snapshots and replication. It is only the initial replication that can take quite long. So you might just let it go and it will settle after a day or two.
