I very much would like this feature. Due to file locking. > [@Is it possible for Syncthing not to lock files in Windows when hashing them?](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/is-it-possible-for-syncthing-not-to-lock-files-in-windows-when-hashing-them/17086/10): > > Relevant proposals, both declined: I am having issues where a backup file is being written to a folder by a process (Macrium reflect) but Syncthing is picking up the new file, before even a 6 minute backup is complete. Due to this, Macrium, is unable to rename the temp file, to the correct final file name (not a good thing) It’d be real, real nice if I could have Syncthing schedule times or even a blackout window, so I can say “don’t do anything between these times” --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/scheduling-times/18143)._
