Often you may want to terminate a backup session if it takes too long. 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.

- 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
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.
