Restrict scheduled backups temporarily

Overview

There might be a time in a day, like important meetings, presentations, where you do not want any activity by other programs on your laptop. inSync provides you the ability to define a time period when you do not want inSync to perform any activity on your laptop. You can define a blackout period for inSync, which when set, stops inSync from triggering any scheduled backups.
