4.7.20 Replication/cleanup inactivity time
This option is effective only if you set up replication or retention rules (p. 96) for the backups.
This option defines a time period when starting replication or applying retention rules is not allowed.
The operations will be performed when the inactivity time ends, if the machine is powered on at that

The preset is: Disabled.
To specify the inactivity time, select the Do not start replication/cleanup within the following time
check box, and then select the days and the time period during the day.
Usage example
