My repository is on a simple external USB hard drive that would probably live longer if it didn’t run 24/7 or, even worse, jump on every hour for 10 seconds to then go back into standby. In this case, would it make sense to turn off automatic maintenance and instead have quick maintenance, followed by full maintenance run as Before Snapshot Actions?
That way, the hard drive would jump on once a day, do quick maintenance, then full maintenance, then the daily backup run, and then go back into standby.
The repo is 5TB and it’s only one client backing up to it once a day.
