Restarting Syncrify Server Once Every 24 Hours

This page discusses a method of restarting Syncrify based on a daily schedule. Restarting Syncrify clears local cache and memory buffers, which is useful in certain scenarios.

Configuration Steps

The following steps assume you want to restart Syncrify Server around 2 AM every day:

• Add the following line in the server.properties file:

auto.restart.time=0200

• The value for this parameter is specified in military time. Therefore, 0200 translates to 2 AM.
• Note that Syncrify will wait up to 2 hours for every backup job to complete before attempting to restart. If no jobs are running at 2 AM, a restart will occur right away. On the flip side, it will wait up to 4 AM before restarting. To extend this wait time, specify a new parameter called auto.restart.padding.in.minutes in server.properties. The value of this parameter represents the number of minutes to wait. The default value is 120, which translates to 2 hours.
