Schedule Bandwidth Throttling?

AdamTyler
Hello!  I am running the Sophos UTM firmware version 9.209-8 on an old DELL Optiplex workstation.  Seems to be working great.  I have an internal server that I have configured "upload" throttling for to save my upload bandwidth during the waking hours.  However, at night the same server needs to run an offsite backup job and it would be nice if this Throttling rule could be automatically disabled or scheduled.  Or perhaps there could be an exception.  Right now the rule says something like:

From "MyInternalServer" to "IPv4 Internet"

This seems to allow the same server to have full LAN throughput to local hosts, but also has the desired affect of uploading data to internet based hosts without hammering my upload speed.

I've attached some pictures related to my speed/QoS settings.

    Bob,  thanks for the reply.  Cool suggestion, but what's to prevent the server from consuming all the upload capacity of the circuit if you don't limit it?  I see that there is a certain amount of throughput allocated, but not limited?

    Regards,
    Adam Tyler
