I’d like to use Kopia to back up a computer to a file server after hours when the computer is not in use. It contains terabytes of data and will probably take several days to back up, so I’d like to pause or stop Kopia every morning, and resume or start it again at midnight.
I’m using Kopia under Ubuntu Linux from the command line. I know how to use cron to start it, but I couldn’t find a way to stop Kopia short of kill -9. Is that safe, and is there a better way?
