Specifying a job timeout

Often administrators want to abort a backup job if it takes too long to complete. Consider a scenario where you want to start a backup job at 10 PM and do not want it to go pass 8 AM the next morning.

Starting from build 749, you can specify a timeout period through Syncrify Server's web interface using the following steps:

• Login to Syncrify server's web interface using the admin account
• Click Manage Users
• Click View under the Profiles column for the desired user
• Click the Manage limitation icon under the Action column
• Specify a timeout period in minutes. See image below.
  
  
• A value less than or equal to zero means no timeout. This value is set to -1 by default.
