Forcefully terminating Syncrify client
Often you may want to terminate a backup session if it takes too long. Consider the following scenario:
- You have scheduled a backup to start at 10:00 PM every night
- You want to make sure backup finishes before 7:00 AM the next morning. If not, terminate the session to avoid a heavy load on your network.
Steps
You can specify a -timeout parameter as a command line argument to Syncrify Client. For example:
- SyncrifyClient.exe -timeout 540 ProfileName.syncrify (Windows)
- java -jar SyncrifyClient.jar -timeout 540 ProfileName.syncrify (Linux)
The value for -timeout parameter is specified in minutes. 540 represents the number of minutes between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM
On Windows, you can specify the command line argument in the Scheduled Task.

you can abort a running backup job without

Disadvantages of terminating
When -timeout parameter is used Syncrify will terminate the process with the following side effects:
- Syncrify server won't know about this event. It will continue thinking Syncrify client is active for the next 5 hours and will eventually consider it dead.
- No email will be sent for the job
