SOLVED ZFS replication only during the night?

[blanchet]

Hi,

I would like to replicate my FreeNAS server to another one only during the night (between 20:00 and 08:00) .
How should I specify this period of time ?

• a single replication task that overlap midnight ?
  • Begin Time = 20:00 and End Time = 08:00
• or two replication tasks that stop and start at midnight ?
  • Task1: Begin Time = 20:00 and End Time = 23:59
  • Task2: Begin Time = 00:00 and End Time = 08:00

Regards,

they are identical, soooo...either one should work? the replication will run b/w start and end times.

This will work fine and be simpler than two.

Thank you for the explanation because the documentation did not explain this case.
I have tested a single replication tasks for a week, and it works as expected.
