I have added a client to my backup server that will take several days of no=
n-stop backup activity to complete.  I have added the client as snapshot in=
stead of lazy and start a sync in the evenings because the backup activity =
causes too much load during the day while client activity is high (at least=
 now while the client is trying to get a full backup done).  I have added a=
 'bbackupctl -q terminate' command to cron to stop the backup activity in t=
he morning.. but this didn't work=2C the backup still continues and the bba=
ckupctl command remained as an active process that didn't appear to be doin=
g anything.  If it did work should this stop the backup or unload bbackupd?=
  It would be nice if it would stop the backup and let bbackupd go idle.  T=
o stop the backup in the morning I issued a 'kill <pidof bbackupd>' and the=
n it took about a minute or so until it unloaded.   Is this ok to do?

Thanks=2C
